The Hive visits the Utah Arts Fest 2010

June 25, 2010 at 11:29 pm 1 comment

Every summer the Utah art community descends upon Library Square to host a four day celebration of art called the Utah Arts Fest. This year, The Hive was on hand to interview six artists about their work and process.


Beth Fischer jokes about her photography and unique subject matter. Jesse Stern discusses his handcrafted guitars and even strums a few chords. Matt DelPorto drops by in the 337 Project truck with an enormous ball of string and a thousand thoughts on strings. Leia Bell walks us through her screen printing process and narrowly avoids a spider attack. Shawn Hayes tells us the story of his apprenticeship in leather shoe making, and Amber DeBirk talks about her recycled glass belt buckles.

The Utah Arts Fest, going on now through Sunday, June 27.

    What a great way to experience people I met and people I missed at The Utah Arts Fest. Really enjoyed Leia Bell giving a demo of her printmaking.
