Is it ‘time’ for the weekend yet? It’s a great day to head to Level Crossing Brewing Co for a beer, and to check out this mural, “The Conductor and The Engineer” by @arcyart

We love the coy expressiveness in this detail of the mural “Look Away” by Chuck Landvatter at our local watering hole, Shades Brewing.

Many of the mural artists this year were inspired by the 150th Anniversary of the union of the transcontinental railroad at Promontory Point in 1869. This mural at Beehive Distilling by Trent Call utilizes western themed imagery to illustrate the meeting of Union Pacific and Central Pacific in Northern Utah.

We’ll be featuring some of our favorite works from Mural Fest 2019 over the course of the week.

For the second year in a row, Mural Fest 2019, organized by the SSLArts Council hosted 10 local and guest artists to transform buildings in South Salt Lake's Creative Industries Zone into vibrant works of art.

We love seeing new public art projects going up around our neighborhood in South Salt Lake!

Winter sunlight streams through slats of wood at the entrance to this mountain residence creating a striated “shadow screen” on the ground.

The rough and irregular texture of board formed concrete, one of our favorite materials to work with, provides ample opportunity for contrasting highlights and shadow on the exterior of St. Joseph the Worker Church in West Jordan.

This moody little grouping of vases in a bathroom alcove reminds us of a “natura morta” by Giorgio Morandi, a master of subtle shading and rendering of ordinary objects.

Opposing, dualistic forces constructed to be made harmonious is a continual aspect of Sparano + Mooney projects. These skylights at the Mona Park Pool in Los Angeles illuminate the interior of the bathhouse in a geometric pattern that shifts over the course of the day.
