Submerged in Art - Spring 2013
4th Annual Charity Fine Art Exhibition
Submerged in Art
is an annual fine art exhibition in honor of the The Road Home
homeless shelter that takes place at 2275 S. Highland Drive in Sugarhouse above
The Tap Room. This admired and inspired event features hundreds of paintings,
sculptures and prints alongside live music and spoken word performances by a
group of thriving Utah artists, musicians and wordsmiths. Salt Lake City Weekly
honored the 2012 Submerged in Art event with a “Best of Utah”
award and we are committed to organizing another award-worthy event in 2013. On
March 29th-30th will be an intimate gathering of Utah contemporaries
providing an opportunity for the public to submerge themselves in an exhibition
of the arts, where they are able to meet with the artists and purchase their
creations. A respectable portion of the artist’s sales along with all proceeds
from prize drawings, silent auctions and door donations will benefit The Road
Home.
With the support of
dedicated volunteers and donations from many local businesses, including the
exhibition space, the 2010, ‘11 and ‘12 events attracted immense crowds of
enthusiastic Utahans raising thousands of dollars for The Road Home.
With a charitable
objective, Submerged in Art is an exposition of refreshing artistic
disciplines comprised of a unique coalition of Utah artists. “Our goal is to use
these refreshing talents to raise awareness and to generate excitement in our
guests, which in turn will hopefully assist in raising more funds for The Road
Home. Enthusiastic attendees almost always equals more donations and let’s face
it, at a charitable event, that’s what matters.” – says Tai, the event’s
founder.
Both evenings will feature the MC
prowess of TV and radio personality Johnny Riche, feeding by the World Dog cart,
live music performances by Minx, The Precinct, Chivers Timbers, Jesus or Genome,
Chanda Charmayne, The Pickpockets, Cambriah Heaton, Living Waters Jam Band, Matt Mateus,
Lady & Gent, Kelly Bellerose, Alain DeCordova and Brian
Bingham amidst a gallery of artwork by Tai,
