SLC Greener Grass-


Salt Lake City was by far the most understanding and helpful city to host our show. The Salt Lake City Arts Commission went out of their way to find the perfect time and place for Greener Grass to set up. We were luckily able to set up right in front of City Hall downtown in a small park called Washington Square on the 19th. There was one other artist set up in the park, a photographer, who spoke very highly of the art scene in SLC and seemed to be trying to sway us away from our dream of the west coast! In Salt Lake City, as an artist you can buy a $30 a year permit and then have the right to set up anywhere in the city and sell your work, which is what the photographer had done.

At Washington Square on the 19th they had a "Brown Bag Lunch Concert", part of a series of music performances that go on downtown every weekday during the summer. The Debi Graham Band entertained us with their music, and we had about 100 people enjoy the Greener Grass Show during the concert. Thank you Salt Lake!

Our next show will be in Las Vegas today, outside of the Las Vegas Art Museum (or what used to be as it has been closed since February due to lack of funding).
