LEARN MORE

  • "When it comes to equity and access, Diamond Wave doesn’t just talk the talk: it breaks down barriers.”

    – Frances Phillips (The Walter & Elise Haas Fund)

  • "I cannot offer high enough praise... they are bright, knowledgeable, dedicated, receptive, passionate and collaborative in their approach. It is evident that Diamond Wave is dedicated to a more just and equitable future... and truly making a difference within the Bay Area ecosystem."

    – Tara Dalbo (La Peña Cultural Center)

  • “Critical to Diamond Waves's success has been their knowledge of the local context and their ability to offer training and support that actually meets the specific needs of the individual artist and arts organization.”

    – Esailama G. Artery-Diouf (Ph.D, San Francisco Foundation)

  • "Diamond Wave is a go-to partner for anyone who wants to build an inclusive process that dismantles traditional power structures in an effort to build a more just and equitable world."

    – Anjee Helstrup-Alvarez
    (Executive Director, MACLA/Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana)
