Social Justice Directive
MMAC Collections Committee's Direction on Social Justice
Adopted 9/11/2020
The Montana Museum of Art and Culture, the state’s largest publicly-owned collection of art, aspires to be an inclusive organization that supports, collects, and represents creative expression that rises from the breadth of the human experience.
Our efforts are strengthened by welcoming people of every race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, class, disability, age, national origin, and citizenship.
The MMAC Collections Committee pledges to prioritize the acquisition of work by Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC), LGBTQ+, women, and other historically marginalized artists.
We further commit to seeking broadly diverse leadership, input, and participation in all aspects of the MMAC Collections Committee's work.
