Dozens of murals are popping up in and around Salt Lake City as part of a concerted effort by artists, property owners and community groups to enliven, beautify and bring attention to public spaces.
The Tribune is working to catalogue these diverse works of urban and pop art. And on this week’s episode, movie critic and culture reporter Sean Means takes Trib Talk host Benjamin Wood on a walking tour of the The Gateway — where several murals are concentrated — to discuss the artists behind the movement, its impact on the community, and the unique qualities of the mural as an art form.
