Opera Southwest has made a commitment to put diversity on stage. Each season includes a Spanish-language opera with principal roles sung by native Spanish speakers. In fall 2019, our production of Bottesini's Ali Baba will include an entirely non-white principal cast.
A new study estimates that 85% of #artists represented in #ArtMuseum collections are white and 87% are men, finding that “diversity efforts involve programs and people rather than collections.” Via @artnet: bit.ly/2UcBblw
