Excellence — To provide the highest level of arts and digital training, professional artists deliver advanced, relevant instruction directly applicable to industry. Students showcase their work in public shows twice a year, and learn to present and express themselves.
Creativity & Curiosity – Students gain exposure to the arts to expand their perspective, develop cultural intelligence, and learn to see. Experiential and peer-to-peer learning frameworks promote curiosity and engagement. Regular field trips build awareness of life possibilities. Long-term investment in those we serve allows us to layer knowledge over time.
Diversity, Community, & Belonging – We create a safe space for students to develop their voice and cultivate their unique creative process. Our studio provides a second home, and we facilitate lifelong connections with and among our students. This builds confidence, motivation, and a sense of belonging.
Opportunity & Exposure – Salt’s social capital and industry connections create opportunities for projects, internships, and jobs. Professional support and mentorship from artists helps students develop professional-level portfolios and envision a path forward into the industry. Dedicated college preparation sessions provide holistic support for the college journey.
