Inclusive Communities

 Visiting artists Saba Taj, Omar Offendum, and Karim Nagi hold hands to take a bow during the culminating performance of Salaam: Exploring Muslim Cultures at the Moss Arts Center

The Moss Arts Center commits to supporting policies and practices that empower an inclusive and welcoming environment. We embrace Virginia Tech’s Principles of Community and contribute to the ongoing work of breaking down barriers and supporting engagement, learning, and growth for all.

The arts provide a platform for illumination, inspiration, and transformation. It is imperative that we continue to seek out and support artists representing diverse perspectives and cultures, and bring their experiences into the spotlight.

We support positive change. We are committed to serving the entire community, presenting historically underrepresented voices and perspectives, and promoting meaningful dialogue. We will continue to build cultural consciousness within our organization, identify areas where we can reflect and grow, and find new ways to listen to and engage with those who share our commitment to inclusive communities.

Everyone deserves access to a full, vibrant creative life, and our doors are always open for every member of our community.
