In pursuit of this, Broadway Rose does not tolerate discrimination based on race, ethnicity, age, ability, economic standing, agender/gender identity or expression, sexual or romantic orientation, language, immigrant status, or religion. It hopes to use its art as an opportunity to appreciate both the similarities and differences between communities for the beauty they add to the world.
