-Gordon Dew

Our Green Room Gallery is a collective endeavor between community and artists. This space allows Salt Lake Acting Company to offer a variety of diverse visual perspectives from local artists based on inspiration found from themes raised onstage. In keeping with SLAC’s mission to nurture our local, creative community, we celebrate these reinforcements born between the visual and performing arts.
