The Salt Lake City Arts Council’s Public Art Program has announced the selection of Seattle-based artist-led team Haddad|Drugan for the 400 South Viaduct Trail project, a key initiative aimed at revamping the corridor linking the city’s West and East sides. Laura Haddad and Tom Drugan will work closely with the project’s design team to infuse the corridor with artistic elements that enhance visual identity, ensure safety for all users, and celebrate the community’s involvement. Prioritizing pedestrian, cyclist, and mobility device user safety, the project seeks to bridge the East-West divide in Salt Lake City with a focus on transportation equity. Haddad and Drugan plan to engage with West Side communities through events and consultations to reflect their voices and aspirations in the corridor’s design, emphasizing light, color, and wonder in their art. Selected from 72 candidates, their work will culminate in a design process through 2024, with construction expected to begin in 2025.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>1\/29 CANVASREBEL: Meet Elizabeth Sanchez<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last year I worked on a set of paintings that were very intimate and close to my heart. The show titled \u201cAs\u00ed se Acaba el Mundo\/This is How the World Ends\u201d was exhibited at Brigham Young University and was inspired by a turbulent time in my life. The paintings invite reflection toward the constant endings and life\u2019s beginnings. This group of paintings was inspired by what at some point felt like the dominoes of many ends of my world. …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>1\/25 SLTRIB: \u2018That\u2019s not Jesus\u2019: LDS artists team up to challenge the image of a white Christ<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why paint Jesus as a man with dark skin? Because odds are, that\u2019s how he looked. Plus, it\u2019s what he would do.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the philosophy behind an art show opening Feb. 2 at\u00a0Provo\u2019s Writ & Vision\u00a0gallery. Titled \u201cMosaic of Christ,\u201d the exhibition will run through Feb. 24 and is focused entirely on depictions of Jesus chosen based on their \u201cemphasis on cultural expression and historical accuracy,\u201d according to the event\u2019s news release.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a big proponent of the idea that it\u2019s not wrong to paint Christ as white,\u201d said show juror and participant\u00a0Esther Hi\u2019ilani Candari, a Latter-day Saint artist who grew up in Hawaii in an Asian American mixed-race household. \u201cWhat is wrong is when we only take Christ in one way. And that\u2019s what we have at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
