From Mia Bird, Founder and CEO of BN1 Arts School
As the CEO of BN1 Arts School, I am acutely aware of the pressing need to address DEI within our institution. Creative Arts education, despite being a vibrant and creative field, has long struggled with issues of representation and inclusivity. This lack of diversity not only limits the range of stories and perspectives shared but also hinders the development of a truly rich and dynamic artistic community.
Historically, Creative Arts education has been underrepresented by certain demographics, leading to a narrow range of voices and experiences being highlighted. This affects the opportunities available and limits the scope of artistic expression and innovation. By recognising and addressing this, we aim to be part of a new narrative with new voices for the Creative Arts industry.
We recognise we can’t solve all problems, however we aspire to always be working toward improvements.
