City Art Meltdown—15-20 of Utah’s Best Writers Read
Salt Lake Public Library Main Branch
210 East 400 South
Salt Lake City UT 84111
Wednesday September 7th 7:00—9:00 P.M.
City Art will present its annual meltdown on Wednesday,
September 7th at 7:00 P.M. at the Salt Lake Public Library Main Branch. The meltdown includes the top
vote-getters among Utah writers and so offers fifteen to twenty of the best
literary figures of the state reading for five minutes each. It traditionally begins the City Art
Reading series, which meets the first three Wednesdays of every month from
September through June. Check the marquee up front, but we should be in the fourth floor conference room most of the year.
This year’s event will again feature some of Utah’s favorite
writers as voted for by the audience of City Art including the following:
Timothy O’Keefe, Rebecca Lindenberg, Kimberly Johnson, Sandy Anderson, Melanie
Rae Thon, Lynn Kilpatrick, Melissa Bond, Jacqueline Osherow, Shanan Ballam, Lance
Larsen, Natasha Saje, Michael Sowder, Jennifer Tonge, Michael McLane, Sandy
Anderson, Joel Long, and Rob Carney.
The event is free and open to the public. City Art is sponsored by the Utah Arts
Council, the Salt Lake City Arts Council, Zoo, Arts, and Parks, X-mission, and
audience donations.
