“I once dreamt of a 9 ft. long dog who had puppies, and I was about to buy one, but then I realized how inconvenient it would have been to have one every time I’d have to move. I decided to paint this for Celebration of the Hand because I felt it was a unique figure that would be able to represent the type of art I do. I felt it would also be a good way of bringing attention to Craft Lake City and add to the community in some way.” – Michelle Christensen

Located between Plum Alley and Kayo Gallery, off of 300 South, between State Street and 200 East.
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.
