SALT Art Gallery exhibits a diverse range of contemporary art in Philadelphia, PA. We represent a mix of established and emerging artists while cultivating new talent. We strive to provide a unique platform for artists to develop their work and ideas in a supportive and nurturing environment. Since opening in May 2009, SALT Art Gallery remains dedicated to the evolution and continual dialogue of contemporary art.

As a result of our continued support of contemporary art and our artists, SALT Art Gallery has been given the opportunity to collaborate with Philadelphia’s Mural Arts Program and The National Council of Ceramic Arts (NCECA).

Michael Veneziale, Owner and Curator

Brought up in New Hope Pennsylvania, Michael Veneziale’s passion for the visual arts and painting emerged at a young age. By high school, Michael was being commissioned to design and paint sets for local schools and arts organizations, such as The Bucks County Playhouse. He continued to develop his work as a painter and by the early 1990’s made the move to Brooklyn, NY to pursue his career. Over the next 10 years, his prolific career in New York City included creative collaborations with media moguls from MTV, Radical Media, Works in Progress and Pseudo.com as well as numerous exhibitions and private commissions.

By the early 2000’s, Michael decided to return to Philadelphia, bringing his experience and knowledge of contemporary art to the local arts community.  It was his continual support and engagement of contemporary art that lead Michael to open SALT Art Gallery in May of 2009. 

Since Opening SALT, he has contributed to the vibrancy of the contemporary arts field in Philadelphia by showcasing and supporting emerging talent and collaborating with various arts organizations and businesses. In addition, over the past year, he has been commissioned by WaveWare, Naked Chocolate and Sesame Street. Michael is pleased to bring his prowess, knowledge and practice in contemporary art to cultivate new and established relationships with both artists and clients through his activity with SALT Art Gallery.
