Crow Collection of Asian Art

The Crow Collection of Asian Art will address issues of difference, inclusion, and equity by embarking on a multifaceted project involving professional development, programmatic testing and partnership, and the initiation of changes to make its physical space more inclusive towards all communities. All staff members will participate in a series of eight workshops on diversity and inclusion. As part of the project, the museum will partner with the Dallas Dinner Table for an exploratory initiative called The Playgroup Project which seeks to connect families of different ethnic backgrounds through six weekend sessions at the museum to build community beyond each family's immediate neighborhood. Art and art-making will anchor this program for toddlers and their families by combining exploration in the galleries and hands-on art-making in the museum's studio space. At the completion of the project, the museum will produce a set of diversity and inclusion best practice documents that will act as a guide for all staff.
