COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
Because we place the utmost value on a diversity of perspectives and experience, and because we believe that intolerance is antithetical to creativity, Elastic Arts Foundation is committed to creating and maintaining a community where people of all ethnicities, races, religions, varieties of sexual orientation or concepts of gender are included so that even those whose identities are not the majority, or who have been too often disempowered, should feel especially welcome at Elastic Arts as artists, performers or attendees of our programming.

To help guide us, Elastic has adopted the We Have Voice Code of Conduct to Promote Safe(r) Workplaces in the Performing Arts. Its full text, along with more information about We Have Voice, is available here:
