Brolly Arts H2O

As water issues assume increasingly critical importance, both locally and globally, Brolly Arts proposes a multi-arts event, H2O for the first week of May, 2009, to coincide with and be part of Utah’s official Water Week. We are working with Salt Lake Public Utilities to integrate our programming into the Water Week calendar of events, which will complement the City’s educational offerings with artistic perspectives on the same issues. H2O will highlight and celebrate this precious natural resource through music, dance, poetry, art exhibitions and installations, speakers, film, and music.
