2016-2017 Salvage Vanguard Season

 

"The energy cultivated, created, and fed inside the walls of the Salvage Vanguard is not confined to a building. It does not end because the artists move. The commitment to risk taking art, community forward thinking, and civic engagement will continue to grow. We are excited for the year ahead." -Jenny Larson, artistic director
