Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

As a leading marketplace for the arts, Acceptd has the responsibility to create opportunities and showcase the diverse perspectives that define art as we know it today. Acceptd is committed to supporting the arts community and being a light for inclusion, diversity, equity, and anti-racism.

Acceptd does not tolerate any form of racism or hate. The company has a zero tolerance non-discrimination policy with regard to age, sex, gender identity and/or expression, sexual orientation, race, color, creed, ethnicity, national origin, ancestry, religious beliefs, marital status, familial status, disability, veteran status, political persuasion, or beliefs.

Acceptd was founded on the mission of connecting artists with opportunities to follow their dreams. We exist to help all people flourish. We have been running hard with that lens since the company was founded over 10 years ago.

As a brand, we commit to:

• Continue the use of our platform to represent all artists equally and advocate for equal representation and opportunity in the arts industry.

• Provide scholarships and fee waivers to support underrepresented and in-need artists applying to arts programs worldwide.

• Actively address any internal systemic changes we can make as an organization.

We advocate for and hold ourselves accountable to create a community that is inclusive and proactive in learning from and listening to all perspectives by acknowledging experiences.
