SALT LAKE CITY — Creative Mural Art is on the rise in Salt Lake City. But what’s behind the art form explosion?
“But even 15 years ago, there wasn't really an appetite for murals. And I think that's changed as, as the culture has changed.“So 100 years, really, respectively 150 years, everything was hand painted,” Scheuerman said. “So there were just hand painters that would go and create billboards, and the front of buildings and you can still see go signs that they're called, which is like the old hand painted signs that are all worn in downtown Salt Lake and those are protected now.
The Arts Council is a division of Salt Lake City Corporation in the Department of Economic Development . “Unfortunately here in the city for us, it's kind of difficult to do murals just because of how our funding works. Festivals like Mural Fest in South Salt Lake and Midvale City Mural Festival have brought artists from around the country and the world to transform Utah cities into a real life canvas- events that local artist Lizzie Wenger says has strengthened the art scene in the Beehive state.
