Harriet Salmon is an artist and arts professional, currently working as the Director of Art Partnerships at Creativity Explored in San Francisco, California. She received a BFA from California College of Arts & Crafts in 2001 and an MFA from Yale University in 2006. Prior to joining Creativity Explored, Harriet worked on the editorial staff of Artforum Magazine for over 50 print issues. Previously, she was a fine art fabricator and from her time working in this world, she created and hosts Craftsmanship Podcast, an oral history project that documents the fabrication community. She’s dedicated her time to arts nonprofits, higher education and for the last few years she has been the co-owner of Heroes Gallery, a curatorial project born in New York’s Lower East Side that pairs artists with their historical influences.
 
Her work focuses on traditional craft techniques and how they reflect care, time and place in our modern world. With a deep interest in production and the natural world, she often discusses hybrid states, adaptation and fabricating the natural world.
 
Centrum's Residency Programs are made possible through the generosity of Sally Warren & Jeff Jackson, Cathy Sarkowsky, Cat Clifford, The Chin Family Foundation, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and numerous other granting agencies.
