Traditional signs of spring include tulips and Easter eggs. New signs of spring at The Gateway include a narwhal flying through space and a unicorn breaking free from a canvas.
Vestar, the company that owns The Gateway, has hired Utah artists to create fantastic art installations with a spring theme. The artwork will fill 10 empty storefronts throughout the outdoor mall for the next three months.
Artists also will be able to open shops in their spaces during monthly Gateway Art Strolls, organized in partnership with the Salt Lake Gallery Stroll. The selected artists began creating their installations in early April, but the official launch of the new edition of the mall’s Art Shop Project is Friday.
