The McLean Project for the Arts (MPA) values and respects all of our students, members and staff, and recognizes that our differences make us a more robust and productive artistic community. MPA expects all members, students, officers, directors and staff to treat each other with respect and civility. Harassing behaviors directed towards any member of our community will not be tolerated. As part of its commitment to non-discrimination, MPA specifically prohibits discrimination based on any characteristics including race, color, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, creed or religion, national origin, age, disability, and veteran status. MPA strives to create a safe and inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and fosters positive relationships. Only through embracing diverse perspective can we truly collaborate, inspire and create.
