Together let's make an arts sector that's inclusive for all  

Because working in the arts should not be about privilege

Inc Arts champions the creative, contractual and economic rights of the UK's African, Asian, Caribbean and ethnically diverse arts sector workforce.  

We work to make inclusive change in the arts and cultural sector. Our vision is to create a thriving cultural community that allows everyone to do their best work.   


Our business focus is on the 'teams behind the scenes': those who work in roles off-stage, supporting creative production. We work across performing arts (music, dance, theatre), visual arts, collections, heritage, archive, combined and outdoor arts.


We recognise the toll that marginalisation takes on mental health. That's why we've created  Inc Arts Minds to provide free emotional wellbeing support for ethnically diverse people working in the creative industries who bear the burden of others’ racism. Find out more and sign up here.

Advocacy

Working in the arts should not be a privilege. Diversity is not an 'optional'. Taking the lived experience of the workforce we tell our stories through powerful data, and create solutions and strategies for lasting change. Consulting across our UK-wide network spanning performing arts, visual arts, heritage, archives and more, we support and  hold organisations to account on what they do to attract and keep talent. And we'll amplify the work of diverse arts organisations. 


We love evidence based advocacy: we look at the arts through the prism of ethnicity. Here's our report on arts  management and ethnic disparities: Diversity and Managing in the Arts.

Talent Development

To create an inclusive arts workforce, we don't just have to attract great talent, we need to make sure great people can grow to become great leaders. We help to identify and build the skills of those in the early stages of leadership, and grow the talent pool from which senior leaders are drawn. We identify mid-career talent and support their growth in mid-career roles.   We provide networks for ethnically diverse creatives, and help organisations to nurture and grow Asian diasporas, African diaspora and ethnically diverse talent.

Inc Arts' Work

Inc Arts is a non-for-profit charity, and we operate on limited funds and capacity. In recent months we have seen a huge surge in demand for our work. If you can, please help us to ensure that the Inc Arts team can continue championing for the rights of ethnically diverse workers in the arts sector and supporting anti-racist action wherever needed.

Business Support and Development

mThere is no substitute for lived experience. Inc Arts will improve business resilience and sustainability of diverse-led arts businesses, by providing support from business leaders with lived experience of inclusion. This will also provide the workforce the opportunity to build networks within the wider diverse arts sector. Find out more about partnering with us as an Ally for Change.
