Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

​Truth and acknowledgment are vital to building mutual respect and connection across all barriers of birthright and difference. We begin this effort by acknowledging what has been hidden and ignored by honoring the truth. We want to recognize that we are on the traditional territory of the first nations people in Indiana, including the Shawnee, Miami, Wea, Potawatomi, Delaware, Wyandot, Kickapoo, and Chickasaw. We respect their elders, past and present, and acknowledge the history of violence, displacement, migration, and settlement.
We are committed to being an inclusive community that better reflects the students and communities we serve. Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I) will play a key role in our organization. Our purpose is to ensure that the AEAI organization is inclusive and open to all. Art educators can find the resources and support they need to practice equity, diversity, and inclusion in their practice.

These are our ED&I Goals for 2022-2023

1

Achieve a more diverse, equitable and inclusive AEAI

2

Provide equitable and inclusive access to membership

3

Provide equitable and inclusive access to AEAI leadership positions

4

Provide pedagogy that values equity, diversity and inclusion

5

Provide ED&I resources and support for our AEAI membership
