This Friday, March 6th, Artists of Utah invites you to our first installment of co-lab, part of our continuing effort to encourage collaborative art projects in Utah’s arts communities.
During the month of February we turned over the keys to a large work space at Poor Yorick Studios to Utah artists Christopher Kelly and Jared Steffensen.
We had no idea what they were going to do with it.
Neither did they.
They brought their individual artist perspectives and a load of left over materials to the 600 square foot space and began building.
The results are on view this week.
You can stop in the space Tuesday – Thursday, 12 – 6 pm and watch as they put the finishing touches on their project, “It’s going to take some getting used to.”
And join us Friday, March 6th, from 6-9 pm for a reception with the artists.
Poor Yorick Studios is located at 126 West Crystal Avenue (2590 South) in South Salt Lake.
Look for the red doors and chairs on the south side of the building.
