Artists have long used their crafts as a means of rising up in the face of injustice, and this moment is no different.
The University of Utah College of Fine Arts unequivocally denounces racism, and actively works to dismantle the systems of oppression that breed inequality, discrimination, and pain — and acknowledge we aren't immune from them. Our vision is the manifestation of a culture rooted in justice, equity, and inclusion.
We are listening and will continue to work to amplify underrepresented voices within our campus and beyond. We can all do better.
We encourage you to read the statement below from The University of Utah Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, who will be sharing additional resources for our campus community in the days ahead.
