Mission Statement

Investing in theatremakers who have historically been denied opportunities because of gender, race, or age.

About This Cause

Advance Gender Equity in the Arts (AGE) is a social justice movement founded in 2014 by actor and activist Dr. Jane Vogel Mantiri, to advance intersectional gender equity in the arts. Our mission is to invest in theatremakers who have been denied opportunities because of gender, race, or age. For AGE, embedded in the definition of equity is the creation and maintenance of environments where all people have opportunities and resources to achieve their full potential and thrive. We aim to create a more equitable and sustainable arts culture; one that upholds shared and balanced power, prioritizes safety and wellbeing, and is inclusive and representative of all people. We will achieve this by: * Investing our resources in artists who have been systemically underserved, underrepresented and under resourced, advancing their power and visibility * Providing programs that amplify the resilience of and promote prosperity for artists of marginalized genders, recognizing that safety and well-being are cornerstones for equity * Leading with intentionality and action to challenge misogyny, racism, bigotry, ageism, ableism and other barriers to equity
