Art Rewires Your Visual Spatial Brain for Diversity

Look around you from where you sit at work... What do you see in the art images...? Is the diversity your firm celebrates there in the art and images you see...? art as diversity.jpg

Art is a great way to rewire your brain for more diversity and yet too often we miss this opportunity where we work. Here are a few tips to get art into the workplace for the sake of more diversity.

1. Ask each person to hang an art piece near his or her desk that represents their particular belief about diversity...

2. Highlight one artwork each month and have that person relate the art to diversity in your organization...

3. Include a culturally diverse icon within your letterhead to show how your organization values opposing views on most topics...

What else could be done to illumine art as a central pathway to more diversity at your business...?

Hmmmm, visual images motivate us to move forward in what we feel called to do... and to bring others we care about to better places because we did... The glance around the room reminds me again. Thanks...

Maria, what a great idea. I think an organizational arts and crafts fair would work well to highlight personal creatity and would enhance the community's cultural diversity.
