Art Is For Everyone
Our Mission
Bringing purpose, healing, creativity, and connection to all neighbors of the West Salt Lake community through accessible and equitable art experiences.
Our Vision
In tandem with the ever-changing resources of the west Salt Lake City communities, we are crafting an aesthetic, innovative, and inclusive future. Together we’re creating a future community where:
No longer strangers, west side neighbors will be eager to work together in all aspects of life
Our community’s needs will be met sustainably and creatively within community itself
The only boundaries in the community will be the city limits; quality art experiences will be available to everyone
Visual art, excellent craftsmanship, and social diversity will enliven every blank community space
The west side will have its own distinct, admired artistic identity and culture
We will create a permanent, safe, and free maker space that is broadly known as the go-to place for artists to gather, learn, connect, and create
Free art programs with a certified therapeutic component will be one of many resources healing the community
West side nonprofit arts programs partner to create a west side arts coalition that provides regular, free artistic opportunities in tune with our community’s diverse needs
Teachers, directors, participants, students, and volunteers come from diverse ethnic, socioeconomic, gender, and religious backgrounds
