Demographic Information Collection
The Arts Council collects demographic information at multiple points throughout its application processes. The Arts Council uses this information to gain valuable insights into its hiring practices and identify potential biases.This information not only helps ensure compliance with equal opportunity laws but also aids in creating a more inclusive environment that reflects the diverse arts community in our region. Understanding the demographics of our applicants can guide strategic initiatives to enhance recruitment efforts, promote diverse perspectives, and ultimately drive innovation within the organization. For the Arts Council, collecting demographic information is not just about statistics; it’s about building a more equitable future for all applicants.
As an applicant, you will be asked to complete an anonymous demographic survey following the submission of this application form. Should you continue in the application process, you will be asked to complete the survey again at each stage.
Please note: the information collected as part of the anonymous demographic survey is not tied to your specific application materials, but the Arts Council will review the demographic information throughout the process to check for any equity concerns.
