Equity Resources


World Arts West was founded to address historical racial inequities by creating a

platform of visibility and empowerment for diverse cultural voices. 
​

Read the rest of our commitment to racial equity and belonging by clicking here.

This page was assembled by our 2021 California Arts Council Fellow, Javier Stell-Fresquez, to resource our artist community as we build a more just and equitable dance field together.


​Be mindful of the fact that countless hours of labor, often by people who have been most impacted by white supremacy, inequity, and injustice, have gone into creating these statements, frameworks, and tools.
​Please provide proper credit when using an organization’s or leader’s work.  Let’s practice reciprocity and respect.​
