Avenues Open Studios

Art Reception

Works by Local Artists · Exhibit runs from Nov 12 - Dec 21

Six years ago, Tom Fightmaster and I were talking about the few places in Salt Lake City available to artists to display their work. Galleries want well-known artists who bring in customers, and every year there are fewer and fewer art galleries in Salt Lake City - the attrition hurts everyone.  Farmers markets and art fairs often have restrictive rules as well as a hefty fee for participation. We wanted to create an event that is about art, not about business. All Avenues artists are welcome to join the group; we have no prerequisites, no judging, and no censoring. All disciplines are welcome. We have potters, fabric artists, painters, jewelry designers, tie-dye clothing makers, greeting cards, photographers and sculptors.

Every artist has the freedom to create without outside influence, to be what we are.
