Our Interim Director Leslie Peterson offers some words of comfort during the tumult of the City Creek development.
Dear Art Center Patrons and Members,
When the City Creek Center demolition began we assured our patrons that our commitment to bringing contemporary art to this community will not be affected by the construction, and a year later we are still honoring that commitment. During the past year, in spite of being in the middle of all the construction, our attendance numbers have actually increased and we are so grateful to all our patrons who have continued to take advantage of our top notch and free programming during this time. We invite you to continue to do so as the downtown landscape evolves.
We want to alert you to an upcoming traffic and parking change: the north bound lane of West Temple between 100 South and South Temple will be closed until November, with the south bond lane becoming a two-way street. This action has eliminated several metered parking spots in front of the Art Center. Do not let this keep you from experiencing our exciting exhibits; please visit our website (www.slartcenter.org) to find alternate parking and transportation tips.
Just a reminder to join us this Friday, April 18, at 6:30 p.m. for a Free Art Talk during Gallery Stroll. Three of Gaylen Hansen's former students will discuss his work and teaching techniques. Panelists include; Ric Collier, artist and former Director of the Salt Lake Art Center; Nancy Kiefer, artist; and Linda Okasaki, artist and free-lance art consultant and researcher. This panel discussion will be moderated by Monika Del Bosque, Director of the Mary Elizabeth Dee Shaw Gallery at Weber State University.
Once again I would like to thank you for you continued support and I look forward to see you at the Salt Lake Art Center.
Best Wishes,
Leslie Peterson
Interim Director
