CITYART presents weekly programs at the
wonderful downtown Salt Lake City Library featuring invited readers. Readings
are typically presented on the first three Wednesday evenings of the school
year months at 7 p.m. An Open Reading usually follows, at which audience
members may briefly read from their own work. Interested audience members are
encouraged to volunteer to help with future programs, or to help organize youth
activities.
This event is made possible with the support of
City Art and Utah Humanities.
The event is free and open to the public.
Most featured readings are followed by an open reading. City Art is sponsored by the Utah Arts Council, the Salt Lake City Arts Council, Catalyst, the Salt Lake City Public Library, Xmission, and the Zoo, Arts, and Park Fund.
