SALTS is City SALTS in Birsfelden (since 2009, next to Basel-City, Switzerland) and Country SALTS in Bennwil (since 2020, Baselland). The program is curated by Samuel Leuenberger and Benedikt Wyss.

Since 2020, City SALTS partnered with Waza Arts Centre in Lubumbashi, DRC. In December 2022, it began hosting Mario Kreuzberg, led by artists Manuela Morales Délano and Charles Benjamin. City SALTS also collaborated on Wassertank with the Institute Art Gender Nature (IAGN FHNW). Meanwhile, Country SALTS worked with curators Yann Chateigné Tytelman in Brussels and Gabe Beckhurst Feijoo in London.

(A Brief History)
Initially, SALTS was launched by Samuel and Anna Leuenberger in the form of an Art Salon, where one could not only be confronted with art but also engage in conversations about the production and display of art. In 2011, Swiss artist Tobias Spichtig joined the team and the name SALTS was coined. Later Quinn Latimer initiated a format called The Printed Room for text and poetry-based exhibitions which was taken over in 2015 by artist and curator Harry Burke. SALTS enjoyed regular contributions by curator Fabian Schöneich. Between 2014 and 2019, the exhibition program was co-curated by Elise Lammer, before Benedikt Wyss took over at the beginning of 2020.
