Real Art Lovers SLC

Let's gather to see the award-winning documentary "Shoot the People," about grassroots movements for social justice. It's showing at Utah Film Center as part of their series titled Black, Bold & Brilliant.

**IMPORTANT - it's a free screening, but you need to reserve a ticket via this webpage.**
If you show up without having reserved, you may not get a seat!!

Description of the film from the Utah Film Center website:

"Photographer and activist Misan Harriman documents the global impact of protest movements, capturing the resilience of grassroots activists fighting for equality, civil rights, and social justice....Renowned for his wide-ranging work — including powerful breakthrough images from the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests and capturing the Palestinian liberation movement on film — Harriman also made history as the first Black man to photograph a British Vogue cover."

Showtime is 7:00. Meet at the front entrance of Utah Film Center at around 6:40-6:45. The film is about an hour and a half long.
Afterwards, those who are interested can walk together to Sunroom Coffee, about 3 blocks away, to discuss the movie and the importance of protest movements (now more than ever!!!) over a coffee or a tasty non-caffeinated beverage.

BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!!

The centerpiece of this month's 3rd Friday gallery stroll will be the newly opened Modern West Fine Art. This gallery originally opened in 2014 on the west side of downtown, and recently moved to a brand new space at 242 E. South Temple. Their inaugural exhibition is titled "Unbound: Art of the West," featuring over 20 artists whose work is inspired by the American West.

We will also visit 2-3 other galleries within walking distance - possibly to include Phillips Gallery, Alpine Art, F. Weixler Co., and/or David Ericson Fine Art (to be confirmed once Salt Lake Gallery Stroll posts its roster of participating venues for February).

Option to meet at 5:30 pm for a bite to eat and a drink at Salt & Olive (270 S. 300 East).

There is a limit of 8 people for the group reservation at Salt & Olive.
If you'd like to join, please send me a PM when you RSVP for the event to let me know you'll be coming for food/drink before the gallery visits. **PLEASE DON'T SHOW UP AT SALT & OLIVE UNLESS YOU'VE CONFIRMED WITH ME - IF YOU DO, THERE WON'T BE A SEAT AT THE TABLE FOR YOU!** Thanks for your cooperation. :)

If you don't want to join for food/drinks but would like to meet us afterwards to visit the galleries, you can meet us in front of Salt & Olive at 6:45 pm, or at Modern West Fine Art at around 7:00 pm.
