Ahead of the Month of MICE this October, we wanted to highlight that MICE is for EVERYONE.

MICE is committed to inclusion across race, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion, ethnicity, neurodiversity, and disability status. We aim to ensure every aspect of our show adheres to that commitment, including the curation of our exhibitors, assembly of our programming, selection of Mini-Grant recipients, attendee accommodation, and all current and future features of the festival. We recognize the ongoing oppression of white supremacy and the importance and necessity of committing to antiracism. MICE aims to put on a show that is inclusive and equitable for all who partake, including our attendees, exhibitors, and guests.

We believe diversity not only furthers social justice and equity, but is absolutely central to the quality, vibrancy, and joy we aspire to in our art and in our community.
