Culture Code

Alt Ethos is creating unique experiences not only in our permanent and temporary exhibitions but also in our company culture. One of our main drivers for starting Alt Ethos was to develop a company that fosters positive working relationships within our staff as well as with our clients and competitors. Our company and ourselves are continuously evolving as we expand and move with our vision for what is possible. Our Culture Code will evolve with us as we continue to learn and grow. We are happy to share with you the Alt Ethos Culture Code.

We take every possible measure to ensure that our work consistently provides the highest value.

We achieve this through clear communication, attention to contracts, accountability, and providing guaranteed service.

6.0 Our Competitors

We come from a place of gratitude for our competitors. We would not be here if it were not for them. We sometimes partner, contract, and work in collaboration with our competitors because we enjoy expanding our network and making new friends.

We want to support a culture of learning and collaboration. We will not speak ill about a competitor. Even if we have hard dealings with them, we use it as an opportunity to learn.

Alt Ethos currently donates portions of our revenue, time and equipment to Denver Arts + Technology Advancement (DATA), our sister organization.
