“My plakat is a painting of a bee screen printing. The bee is placed in a grove of Aspen trees, there is a line tied to the trunks of the trees where the prints are drying. The prints that the bee has made are of native Utah plants. Also, the bee is screen printing with a jar of honey wearing cowboy boots!” -Andy Joy Chase
Celebration of the Hand was started by The Temporary Museum of Permanent Change and Craft Lake City in the Summer of 2012 as a way to highlight and showcase the work of local artisans participating in the Craft Lake City DIY Festival. The Celebration of the Hand pieces are installed into steel Plakats, which are adjacent to the sidewalks on the North and South sides of Broadway (300 South) between 200 West and 200 East.
The exhibit is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is free to the public.
This project is supported in part by the Utah Arts & Museums, with funding from the State of Utah and the National Endowment for the Arts.
