DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION (DEI) STATEMENT OF THE ART DIRECTORS GUILD, IATSE LOCAL 800 BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Art Directors Guild is wholly committed to doing our part in creating a more equitable world; to leverage our voices to help create positive change. We therefore condemn all discriminatory views, language, and action against all protected classes of persons, whether in Guild meetings and functions, in Guild Offices, on Guild websites and social media platforms, or under any circumstances.

The ADG is dedicated to creating safe, inclusive, accessible, and welcoming spaces for all Guild members and staff to thrive both within our organization and our respective workplaces. The ADG calls upon all Guild members, Guild leadership, and staff to unite in taking personal and collaborative responsibility in building and maintaining these safe spaces.

The ADG Board of Directors encourages and empowers all members and staff to lead with respectful and constructive actions in the areas of diversity, equity, inclusion, and access throughout the Guild, the IATSE, and our industry.
