SOUTH SALT LAKE, Utah — MuralFest 2023 was held this past weekend in South Salt Lake, but the works of art that were being celebrated are still on permanent display. Dozens of murals now pepper the walls of the area called the Creative Industries Zone.
He says he's loved seeing the murals pop up throughout this community, and he believes they attract new businesses like his. "That building looked completely different sic months ago. They came in painted it all white and put these beautiful murals up on it," Jacobs said. This past week, artists came from all over the world as a part of MuralFest to create these new works of art. Ten new installations were unveiled, adding to the dozens already here — now totaling some 60 murals.
He says he was never contacted about it and would have appreciated that. He also says he has concerns about what could be coming, fearing many more murals lining the wall in front of his home."We’re trying to make art accessible to everybody, so we’re trying to roughly make the world’s largest art museum that’s public and free," said Jonathon Trujillo King from the Utah Arts Alliance.
