Art and Diversity
I got my first business client not too long ago who purchased a painting of downtown San Diego to hang in his office. A couple weeks ago I received an email from his office manager requesting three more paintings - putting me on cloud 9! It's not often that you see original art hanging up in a business office here in San Diego, so I'm thrilled to be spotlighted :)
Dr. Ellen Weber, a colleague of mine at KnowMoreMedia.com, posted an article titled "Art Rewires Your Visual Spatial Brain for Diversity" and offers us some tips to get art into workplace:
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...
