Portland introduces new diversity goals for local arts and culture groups seeking public funds | OregonLive.com: Specifically, arts groups will be asked to increase the ethnic makeup of their staff, boards and contractors. Their audiences, too, may become more diverse through marketing and outreach. Organizations will also be expected to spend more of their budget -- 30 percent being the ideal -- on communities of color. The figure is based on the percentage of city of Portland residents who are not white, taken from studies of Multnomah County done by the Coalition of Communities of Color.
