One of the reasons I love summer is all the festivities that are going on almost every weekend. Last weekend was the Chalk Art Festival, this weekend was the Art Festival. My best bud Talena and I decided to attend the Art Festival for a girls night. At the festival there were multiple booths where you could buy items from local artists as well and music and performing arts on various stages. So much culture, so little time.
When we first arrived, we caught the tail end of Ballet West's performance. I've always had a love for ballet, since I spent a few years in ballet during my years of youth. I was never amazing at it, but I did come to appreciate it. I was sad we missed most of their performance, sigh.

Talena and I wandered around looking at the different art available. There were many forms to choose from: pottery, photography, paintings, carvings, tin airplanes, sculptures, jewelry and even some furniture. I wasn't able to take pictures of what people were selling, but here is what the scene looked like.

Talena, my partner in crime...except we didn't commit any crimes, since
we are law abiding citizens. |
I fell in love with a few particular pieces at the different booths, (particularly photography of southern Utah, cute handbags and artsy salt and pepper shakers); however, my wallet wasn't as infatuated. Art comes with a price, apparently. However, there was a piece of art I decided to invest in, food art!

After dinner we walked around some more and enjoyed the displays in the area.

| Did you know umbrellas grow on trees? True story. |

| Talena and Me...we weren't one of the displays, because that would be weird. |

A sweater for your bike as well as a random shoe! How very useful.
Knitting seemed to be quite the craze at the Art Festival this year. |
Talena and I ended the evening enjoying the music from the symphony and having a riveting conversation about whatever came to our minds, because that is how our conversations go.

The sweaters for the car and bike were quite ridiculous, yet funny at the same time! Thanks for a good laugh this morning! Glad you and your friend had fun!
ReplyDeleteYou manage to find so many fun things to do there in SLC. I guess you would get totally bored here in Natchitoches, although I've been to the art departments at LSMSA and NSU and they do things like knit a giant stomach or heart. Me I'd rather knit a scarf or baby bootees.
