The Inclusive Arts Initiative<\/strong> was created with the goal of representing the Rubenstein School community, with its wide range of talents, passions, and identities.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We aim to create spaces for artists of all identities and abilities in our community to be visible. The Inclusive Arts Initiative is one way we are pursuing our mission question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“How can the Rubenstein School unleash empathy, passion, innovation, and creativity to heal and radically change human-environment systems in a just, equitable, and ecological direction?<\/em>” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We acknowledge that art and creativity are important tools in the movement towards justice and healing the environment, and strive to reflect these values in our physical space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
