Abstract
The disparity of minorities in leadership positions within the arts was spotlighted with the release of the Americans for the Arts 2013 national report. For my thesis I wanted to investigate available studies to see if there was a change specifically with Latinx leaders in the arts and if there was not a change then I wanted to discover why these low numbers existed. During my thesis research, I examined studies at a national level and then locally in San Diego, California. Through this research, I discovered there was not an improvement in Latinx leadership in the arts. My investigation into what was causing this led me to more studies and interviews with Latinx leaders in San Diego. I discovered that the possible causes for the disparity consisted of a combination of reasons. Some of these reasons included bias, financial, connections and education.
