ABSTRACT

In this chapter, I examine the American Alliance of Museums, American Composers Forum, Chorus America, League of American Orchestras, and OPERA America’s use of ADEI to improve their climate, culture, and/or intentional engagement with human difference toward creative justice. I also discuss the Youth Orchestras of San Antonio’s (YOSA) work tackling adultism to develop a creative third place for young people. In addition, I offer the Dance Data Project’s Gender Equity Index and Kathy Hsieh’s Continuum on Becoming an Anti-racist Arts and Cultural Organization as examples of tools that can assist cultural organizations in improving their climate, culture, and people to advance creative justice.
