About The Art Haus SLC

The Art Haus SLC

Mission and Goals

The Art Haus SLC is dedicated to connecting the Salt Lake City community with contemporary arts and artists on a local, national and international level. Our space provides a collaborative environment between artists of multiple disciplines who engage in the development of new works with the goals of sharing their experiences, work and expertise with the greater community. Through growing technology, The Art Haus SLC is dedicated to bringing artistic endeavors abroad into the lives and classrooms of our community members.

The Art House strives to reach the following goals:

Goal 1: The Art Haus SLC connects our local community to contemporary artists from the Utah region and artists on a national and international level.

Goal 2: The space at Art Haus SLC allows for collaborative experimentation amongst artists across disciplines and distances to learn from each other, push the boundaries of their work and explore the richness in performance and the arts offered by other cultures, social structures and artistic methodologies.
Goal 3: The Art Haus SLC invites the local community to participate in productions, festivals, exhibitions and lectures; discover their own artistic talent through educational programs offered by our artists-in-residence; and engage in dialogue about contemporary art and its impact on their community.
Goal 4: The Art Haus SLC utilizes technology to connect artists from multiple locations to experiment in productions and exhibitions, and to bring these and other contemporary art ventures to Salt Lake City public schools, college classrooms around the state and our local neighborhood.

Statement of Purpose

The Art House SLC is a space for artists of various disciplines and backgrounds to engage the downtown Salt Lake City community about the contemporary arts and create a dialogue by offering:

Exhibitions
Educational programming
Professional workshops
International exchange
Interdisciplinary performance

The Art House is a space for collaborative experimentation for artists crossing disciplines in visual arts, media arts and performance art. The Art House creates a community for established artists in the Salt Lake City area and also provides a venue for International artists to come display their work, offer workshops to professionals working in the local Salt Lake City community and participate in educational programming for school districts and Universities.

Additionally, The Art House is home to The Bridge Project, a venture which utilizes technology to create collaborative space for artists in Salt Lake City and participating Sister Cities. These projects allow either for local artists to experiment in productions and/or exhibitions with collaborators across the world and then share their work with the local community. The project also brings productions, festivals, exhibitions and lectures happening in other parts of the world into public schools, Universities and local community showings through digital platforms.

The Art House is committed to enriching the growing and vibrant arts community in downtown Salt Lake City. We believe that art endeavors should be collaborative, experimental and interdisciplinary. The art fostered by The Art House is informed by the cultures, politics and iconography of the world and our endeavor is to bring the world and it's richness to The Art House and vice versa.
