Thanks in large part to South Salt Lake's Mural Fest, the city has blossomed into an outdoor gallery of exciting murals by local and international artists.  What better way to experience this creative explosion than a walking tour conducted by Leslie Allen to visit the murals of the Creative Industries Zone?  You will learn about the mural process, including how artists are selected, the techniques they use to paint large-scale works, and fun facts about key muralists.  There is so much more to it than just painting walls.
