HENRY ART GALLERY MISSION, VISION, VALUES

Mission: The Henry’s mission is to engage all people in the transformative power of contemporary art and ideas.

Vision: The Henry envisions a world where art leads everyone to discover new possibilities in themselves, others, and the world around them.

Values: At the Henry, we value collaboration across departments, across campus, and with peers and community partners. We are committed to taking risks with our programming and to a high level of accountability with our finances and operations. We believe that openness to uncertain outcomes provides a supportive place for artists, and leads to innovation and discovery. We are actively committed to racial equity and social justice, and to building a strong foundation of inclusivity and awareness in all we do.

HENRY ART GALLERY COMMITMENT TO EQUITY

The Henry acknowledges the historical structures and social dynamics that have continuously oppressed communities of color and we acknowledge our part in institutional racism. We also acknowledge that we are situated on the land of the Coast Salish peoples.  

We are actively committed to racial equity and to building a strong foundation of inclusivity and awareness in all we do. We value discourse that brings forward voices and positions that have been – and continue to be – oppressed. We do not tolerate hate speech or actions. 

We recognize that we are in the process of embodying these values across our exhibitions, programs, and operations; this is our ongoing work.  

The Henry Art Gallery is a part of the University of Washington. For more information about race and equity at the UW, see www.washington.edu/raceequity/.
