The Salt Lake City Arts Council is excited to announce the completion of the City’s newest public art installation at 337 Pocket Park. Mayor Biskupski will officially announce the opening of the public park to the community on Friday, June 29th at 3:00 PM. The celebration is free and open to the public.
337 Pocket Park provides more public green space and pays tribute to the 337 Project which remains a milestone in Utah’s contemporary art scene. In 2007, Adam and Dessi Price purchased a condemned two-story residential building once located at the site (337 South 400 East) and scheduled it for demolition. However, inspired by New York City’s Wooster Collective and its creative impact on the community, the Prices decided to first transform it into ephemeral art – an artistic creation that exists only briefly for the benefit of Salt Lake City’s artists and art fans.
