IS THIS TOWN TOO BIG FOR ONLY ONE GALLERY STROLL?
Well, at least for this month the answer is yes. This Friday, October 3 you'll have the chance to catch two mini strolls, going on at opposite ends of the city. First off, the Westside Art Night, coinciding with the unveiling of the 337 PROJECT's Urban Gallery.The Urban Gallery (Neighborhood House. 1050 West 500) marks the return of the 337 Project to its roots: transforming the urban landscape into collective works of art. For this event, the 337 Project solicited 67 proposals from participating artists. The 11 pieces chosen for display include a classic seascape & a portrait of Capt. James T. Kirk: an introduction to contemporary art in Utah.
The Gallery will be unveiled Friday, October 3, 2008 7 pm by Mayor Peter Corroon. The Urban Gallery unveiling at Neighborhood House is part of a broader Night of Art on the Westside, featuring a first-ever peek at the Bridges Over Barriers project inside the warehouse where it is being assembled, and a special opening at Captain Captain Studios. Cultural mainstays Mestizo Coffee House and Art Access will also join in the celebration of the artistic flourishing on the Westside (see page 3).

Also going on this Friday is a special Sugar House Gallery Stroll, presented by Brolly Arts and TRASA Urban Collective. The event happens 5 to 9 pm on Friday. Experience contemporary local art at various businesses in the Sugar House business district (roughly the intersection of 11th East or Highland and 2100 South). Maps and programs will be available on street corners at 2100 South Highland Drive and at participating businesses.
