This includes specific outreach to historically underserved audiences.
These are groups who may have limited access to art programs, services or resources due to location, race, economic status, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability, or other factors. Some groups underserved by the arts in their region may include Black, Latino, Indigenous, Asian, People of Color, LGBTQIA+, disabled, elder, youth, rural, and low-income audiences.
