What is ED&I:
For the purposes of consistency and to align with NAEA's definitions so that our work will be fully supported by NAEA's ED&I's Commission, I will site their definitions:
Equity: Refers to conditions that support fairness and justness based on individual needs and circumstances whereas all members have opportunities to thrive and realize their best within the NAEA community (adopted December 2017).
Diversity: The term ‘diversity’ describes both observable and non-observable individual differences (life experiences, work context, learning and working styles, personality types among others) and group/social differences (race, gender identity and expression, age, social class, country of origin, ability, beliefs, intellectual and cultural perspectives, among others) that can contribute to organizational vibrancy and a dynamic professional community.
Inclusion: The term ‘inclusion’ describes proactive, intentional, and thoughtful engagement with diversity to the extent that all have the ability to contribute fully and effectively throughout the NAEA community."

NAEA has created a wide-ranging and flexible repository of multimedia resources, readings, and materials that support the commitment of visual arts education professionals in grappling with interpersonal and societal issues that still impact oppressed communities in the field. A key recommendation from the NAEA Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I) Task Force is to create space intended to support the ongoing learning of educators at all stages of their discovery of personal and collective agency to counter oppressive practices and structures in the art classroom and in the community, now and into the future.
This site is organized into four sections to facilitate the development of ED&I awareness, aptitudes, sense, and sensibilities, regardless of where you are on the journey. The nexus of offering a sequential and cumulative repository of resources is to self-gauge where you are in your journey of deep reflective work.
The NAEA ED&I Hub is open to everyone. We invite you to engage with your visual arts, design, and media arts education community and this growing collection of resources here!
