IDEA Statement

SIMI VALLEY CULTURAL ARTS CENTER’S IDEA (DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION) STATEMENT:

The Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center (SVCAC) recognizes the importance of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA). The SVCAC believes in the transformative power of the arts to enrich lives and revitalize communities and that engaging in the arts is essential to the human experience and should be available to all. We also recognize the true value and the critical role that diversity serves in helping our theater and community thrive. 

We are committed to create and sustain a diverse, inclusive, and equitable space where everyone feels valued and respected regardless of gender, age, race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, education, socioeconomic status, political affiliation, or ability.

We believe that all voices deserve an opportunity to be heard and we strive to provide a safe environment to share ideas. We understand that a vibrant, thriving arts venue requires balancing creative/diverse programming with the cultivation of inclusive practices and strategies as well as the development of a diverse team who share in these values. We believe this is a continuous evolution. 
​​​​​​​
With deep respect for the original caretakers of the land, we recognize that the SVCAC currently inhabits the land of the Micqanaqa’n and Chumash Nations. We honor the sacred lands of all indigenous peoples.
