STEAMpunk Academy presents: Journey to the Center of the Great Salt Lake

  • Urban Arts Gallery 116 South Rio Grande Street Salt Lake City, UT, 84101 United States (map)

We all know about the Salt Lake right? I mean, half of everything is named after it around here. But have you ever really explored it? Join Jaimi Butler and Maura Hahnenberger for a night of storytelling about the science they have conducted and art they have created about the Great Salt Lake. 

It all goes down at the Urban Arts Gallery at The Gateway Friday, Sept. 6th at 7pm and then we will fly across the street to Seabird Bar for the official after party. Free and All Ages. After Party is 21+ because Utah.

Thirsty Cities and Dusty Skies with Maura

The Great Salt Lake is getting smaller. Will we one day need to rename our home Salt Playa City? And who is to blame for this smaller lake? Our future as a city by the shrinking “inland” sea will likely be dustier and less biodiverse, but there might be solutions to save the shrinking Great Salt Lake from a Mad Max future.

Can Polar Bears Save Great Salt Lake? with Jaimi

We are not supposed to love Great Salt Lake. It is big, stinky, uncomfortable, and is difficult to connect with.  But, it is our close neighbor and vital part of our economy, ecosystem and overall quality of life.  I propose a new charismatic icon for the lake that will connect us all to our unique Great Salt Lake.
