Cultural equity statement

In January 2017, the Race and Cultural Equity Task Force, established to ensure that the policies and procedures of the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission are equitable and to create a new cultural equity statement, convened for the first time. Sixteen members of the public were appointed to serve on the Task Force. After six months, their work concluded with the adoption of the Arts Commission's new Cultural Equity Statement. Read the original full statement here.

On April 23rd 2018, the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission presented its 2018 Cultural Equity Statement to members of the City Council. The statement, endorsed unanimously, “defines cultural equity as the inclusion and fair representation of multiple diverse populations in outreach and in allocation of funding, resources, and programs…”

Each member of the Sacramento City Council spoke in support for such policy and gave their own desire to see such standard spread throughout the community. “The Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission commits to ensuring cultural equity in all its policies and practices.”

With the acceptance of the statement, the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission accompanies cities such as Los Angeles, leading the nation in recognizing the need for systematic inclusiveness and cultural equity.

Commissioner Maya Wallace spoke on the equity policy, “I'm really grateful to and proud of the work that the task force took on to create this statement, all of whom approached this effort with great care and commitment. I am encouraged by a community-based drive to increase transparency and access for the artists in Sacramento. And I'm hopeful that involving citizens in this process will help provide a critical catalyst as we move forward to quickly create processes and designate funding sources that provide access and opportunity for all of Sacramento's diverse communities.”

The newly formed Arts, Culture, and Creative Economy Commission met in June 2020 and adopted the Race and Cultural Equity Statement to reflect its new jurisdiction of the City of Sacramento. The updated statement with the new commission name and jurisdiction can be found here.
