The mural showcases the community’s inclusiveness and through the vibrant, colorful and inventive imagery, celebrates its residents. This collaborative, enlightened artwork blends thoughtfulness and respect in its creative function and encourages imagination, exploration and the exchange of ideas by those who observe it.

Special thanks to Stephen Keen Photography for the beautiful photos of the mural.
This public art project was funded through Salt Lake City’s Percent for Art.
Thanks to the Salt Lake Art Design Board, the Salt Lake City Arts Council, Members of the Review Committee
and the Salt Lake City Public Library for their assistance with this project.
Special Note:
The design of Sun, Moon & All Things In-Between was also used in ways beyond being a public art mural. Design elements were used in interior glass areas of the new building, on library check-out cards, and library tote bags. This became an integrated art project beyond what we were expecting. We are very interested in pursuing other project designs that can be integrated in a variety of new and unique ways.
