Granary Arts along with artists Jann Haworth and Alex Johnstone invite you to participate in “Working Title: Utah Women” to celebrate the impact of Utah women. Give voice to your community and help us create this massive public work that will celebrate the impact of women across Utah.
What women do you hold in high esteem? Who would you put on a mural? Help us create a list of local women who should be included in the mural. They can be historical or contemporary, famous or less-known. We are looking for women who are community centric and remarkable in some way. Each portrait will be created by cutting a stencil likeness of a woman who has made a difference to the state. Participants will be guided through the stencil process, this allows people with no previous art experience to create original stencil portraits.
This is a free art workshop, Granary Arts welcomes all in the community to participate.
Please Note: To participate click the button below and send a high resolution photograph of the woman you would like to create a stencil of and honor. Send to info@granaryarts.org by February 19, 2020. You must attend the workshop to participate.
In August 2020, the United States will celebrate 100 years since the ratification of voting rights for (white) women. Utah will be celebrating 150 years since Seraph Young was the first woman to cast her vote in February of 1870.
With the help of Zions Bank, artists Jann Haworth and Alex Johnstone are celebrating the character and accomplishments of Utah women with a state-wide collaborative mural project. They are working with members of the public throughout Utah to create over 200 stencil portraits of Women who have made an impact in Utah. The portraits will be digitally collaged and printed onto 50-foot-tall weatherproof banners displayed on the side of the Dinwiddy Building, located at 100 S. Main Street, in the heart of Salt Lake City.
