OVERVIEW
In April 2017, the Los Angeles County Arts Commission (now Department of Arts and Culture) released the Cultural Equity & Inclusion Initiative (CEII) report, after an 18-month public process that led to the development of 13 recommendations for the LA County Board of Supervisors to ensure that everyone in LA County has equitable access to arts and culture, and to improve inclusion in the wider arts ecology for all residents in every community.
CEII was developed in response to a Board resolution in November 2015 directing the LA County Arts Commission to conduct "a constructive Countywide conversation about ways to improve diversity in cultural organizations" for all LA County residents, and focused on five key areas: staff, boards, audience, programming and creators/artists.
