Art Access is proud to present the 22nd year of their beloved 300 Plates fundraising event. May 9th from 6-9pm at Venue 6Six9. Every year over 200 artists from all over Utah paint original works on 10 x 11 inch boards to be auctioned for one night in May. All proceeds support Art Access's programming for artists with disabilities which include professional mentorship, exhibition opportunities, and training and advocacy for the Utah arts and culture scene. The general admission ticket price is $75. Plates will once again be sold in a wristband drawing. Guests have long enjoyed the experience of choosing a wristband when they check in and having the different wristband designs randomly selected for the opportunity to buy artwork from the over 300 plates in the show.
