"This project will dovetail nicely with the art center's DEI initiatives. The time has come to capitalize on our collective desire to make all parts of the campus as diverse and welcoming as possible." Additionally, the Burchfield Penney is one of 10 Buffalo cultural institutions that have banded together to pursue funding for cross-organizational DEI training for both board members and senior staff, ongoing DEI workshops, and a commitment that their collective DEI work will remain an ongoing focus in the years ahead. More information on this shared vision to diversify and train boards of directors—by cultural organizations representing a cumulative 300+ seats in our community—will be released in the coming weeks. Finally, the Center's renewed commitment to DEI also calls for a stronger curatorial vision and presence for projects that reflect the breadth and depth of artistic practice in our region.
