 Salt Lake Art Center
MISSION STATEMENT
The purpose of the Salt Lake Art Center is to encourage contemporary visual artists and art, which challenge and educate public perceptions of civil, social and aesthetic issues affecting society.
Supporting Statements
The Salt Lake Art Center supports artists who are independent and responsible, who are engaged in their communities and with vital contemporary issues, and who want to expand the artist’s role in society.
The Salt Lake Art Center presents contemporary exhibitions and programs of art, which have aesthetic and social consciousness, which elicit civil dialogue about crucial issues, which evoke emotional responses, and which are thought provoking to the community and to other artists.
The Salt Lake Art Center is responsible for challenging and educating the community about contemporary visual art and for developing a strong mutual trust with it.
The Salt Lake Art Center explores provocative issues relevant to contemporary society, issues not limited by past precedents, boundaries or policies. The Center discourages division but welcomes differences and diversity. It raises questions rather than providing answers. |
