Creating Welcoming and Inclusive Spaces - The Importance of Diversity in the Arts

" ...There is something too, when you don't have a diverse staff, it's harder to create the systemic change to your marketing that you got to do in order to create...a huge change in your audience. Those things go together, they just do,” Laura Burgos shares.

Laura Burgos is Director of Marketing and Communications at Oregon Shakespeare Festival. She specializes in marketing and business strategy, data analysis, and community outreach. Laura is passionate about creating welcoming and inclusive spaces for ALL who are interested in the arts.

In this week’s show, she discusses the importance of staff diversity and representation and how that sets the stage (pun intended) for more diverse and inclusive audiences.
