These DIY Stations will feature fun & FREE art-making activities for festival-goers with all supplies provided! Read on to find out more about the DIY Stations and our sponsors.

Contribute to a community mural with The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art and see your work on display in the museum!

Join the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art to create a mural for display in the museum! Consider what UNITES our Utah community, share your thoughts visually on a square tile, then add your artwork to the communal masterpiece. All supplies provided and no artistic experience necessary.

Create a modular landscape drawing with The Utah Museum of Fine Art while learning the science behind the color of the sky!

Make your own interchangeable landscape! Using paper cards draw elements of a landscape that can be constructed house-of-cards style into a different landscape every time you put it together. You’ll also get a scientific instrument called a cyanometer that can help you determine the precise color of the sky you would like to include in your landscape. All supplies provided and no artistic experience necessary.

Come get your DIY on with these DIY Stations at the 14th Annual Craft Lake City DIY Festival Presented by Harmons on August 12, 13, & 14! These DIY Stations will be available during peak festival hours: from 5-8pm on Friday, 12-5pm on Saturday, & 12-5pm on Sunday of the festival.
