Community Agreements
Care is at the heart of our program.
These agreements reflect our commitment to cultivating a community that is thoughtful, generous, and grounded in shared responsibility.
Honor each other
We meet people where they are. Treat everyone with kindness, respect, and empathy.
Show up with openness
Embrace curiosity and dialogue. We encourage active listening and balanced participation, fostering a willingness to learn from one another.
Support the artists
Our mission is rooted in celebrating and sustaining artists. Participate by attending events, collecting art, sharing your experiences, and spreading the word.
Protect our space
Whether online or in person, we prioritize environments that are safe, accessible, and considerate for all.
Respect the integrity of member benefits
Art Week passes, private invitations, and other member-only benefits are reserved for current Commissioner members unless otherwise specified. Please do not share or transfer these privileges. This ensures that membership holds its value and access remains fair.
Transparency & privacy
We may ask to share your email with the artists you engage with for follow-up, feedback, or exclusive updates. You’ll always have the choice to opt in or out during sign-up.
Artwork pick-up and delivery
Members are responsible for receiving their artworks, either by attending the unveiling event or arranging for delivery. If we don’t hear from you within three months of notification, we’ll follow up. After that, we may need to explore alternate arrangements for storage or redistribution.
Accountability
If behavior conflicts with these agreements, we will address the situation privately and directly, with care. In some instances, we may need to pause or reconsider access to programs or events. Our goal is to resolve issues thoughtfully and with mutual respect.
