Our Commitment to Equity
Vivo Performing Arts recognizes that equity is crucial to the long-term viability of both the arts and culture sector and communities-at-large. We are committed to ensuring that everyone who wants has equal access to a full, vibrant creative life, which is essential to a healthy and democratic society.
Our equity-centered approach informs how we are structured, how we deliver our programs and services, how we engage with the broader community, and how we support our audiences. We seek to be a community that works against racism, religious intolerance, and discrimination based on gender, sexuality, class, age, and ability.
We hold ourselves accountable through regular internal meetings, data collection and analysis, and by soliciting feedback from a variety of our key stakeholders: our colleagues, artists, supporters, and audiences. We look forward to continuing this work and learning in partnership with these communities.
Organizational Data
Vivo Performing Arts is committed to becoming more equitable and anti-racist by ensuring equal access to creative experiences for everyone. We strive to reflect the diversity of Boston in the people that lead, work, and participate with our organization.
In 2023/24, we began to track gender breakdowns by group in addition to racial equity data.
Our data collection methodology includes a combination of self-reported survey data, research-based data, and modeled data using TRG’s Data Center.
