Diversidad, Equidad, Inclusión y Pertenencia
La promesa de Ah Haa
La Escuela de Artes Ah Haa y la Academia Estadounidense de Encuadernación están impulsadas por la curiosidad y el poder transformador de la imaginación. A través del arte aprendemos a estar más conscientemente conectados con nuestro mundo y más profundamente compasivos a medida que construimos comunidades solidarias. Damos la bienvenida tanto a los buscadores como a aquellos que necesitan ser encontrados. Celebramos el valor profundo y resonante de la diversidad que permite a las personas de todas las experiencias y orígenes descubrir, crear, compartir y prosperar.
We are committed to sustain a learning environment that values each person’s unique identity, history, and experiences. Through equitable partnerships we strive to be present and participatory with diverse communities that inform who we are and challenge us to become more fully human. We resolve to create access, opportunity, and meaningful change that nurtures belonging. We will educate ourselves and our community as well as align our programming and organizational practices to provide equal opportunities for all without regard to race, gender or other protected characteristic.
Porque vivimos, creamos. Porque creamos, vivimos más plenamente.
Reconocimiento de tierras nativas
La Escuela de Artes Ah Haa y la Academia Estadounidense de Encuadernación honran la tierra en la que ahora creamos.
We pay our respects to those who came before us and particularly acknowledge that we stand on the traditional land of the núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (ute) peoples past and present who have stewarded it for countless generations. Out of respect, we will learn the history of this land and we will be mindful stewards of our environment for our children and descendants.
