Craft Lake City and The Temporary Museum of Permanent Change are excited to announce that the Celebration of the Hand Kickstarter Campaign has been launched!
Craft Lake City is bringing the handiwork of local artisans to the streets in the form of a walk-able outdoor gallery exhibit titled, "Celebration of the Hand." Twelve Craft Lake City participants will create outdoor works of art utilizing permanent steel frames (known as plakats) installed adjacent to the sidewalks in downtown Salt Lake City on the north and south sides of Broadway (300 South) between 200 West and 200 East. Artisans will install their works from July 13 to 15, with the show opening on July 20, in conjunction with the Salt Lake Gallery Stroll.
Participants are donating their time for the creation and installation of the works and we do not want them to carry the financial burden for their materials alone. We need your support to ensure that the artisans do not have to pay out-of-pocket for the cost of their plakat supplies.
"Celebration of the Hand" is an exciting opportunity for artisans to not only get their work seen by thousands of new viewers, but it´s also a chance for them to beautify the streets of the city in which they live. We are confident that their creations will spark imaginations and inspire creativity amongst the community. The Plakat installations will be free for anyone to view and interact with, and can be seen 24 hours a day, seven days a week, throughout summer and early fall.
We are extremely excited about the direction of this project and we cannot wait to share the exhibit with the city of Salt Lake.
Thank you for any and all support.
Sincerely,
The Craft Lake City Team
