At the North Suburban Center for the Arts (NSCA), we are committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable environment for all individuals, regardless of their race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or socioeconomic background.

We believe in the power of the arts to inspire, educate, and transform lives, and we are dedicated to ensuring that everyone in our community has equal access to artistic experiences and opportunities.  We strive to create a supportive and welcoming space where diverse voices, perspectives, and artistic expressions are valued and celebrated. We actively seek out collaborations with artists, organizations, and communities that represent a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, as we believe that diversity enriches our artistic programming and strengthens the impact of our work.  

In our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, we continuously examine our practices, policies, and programming to identify and address any barriers or biases that may exist. Through educational initiatives, outreach programs, and partnerships with community organizations, we strive to make the arts accessible to all. We understand that fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion is an ongoing journey, and we are dedicated to listening, learning, and evolving as an organization.

We are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all individuals. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, age, national origin, disability, mental or physical ability, or sexual orientation in any of our programs, activities, or operations.
