It's difficult to pick just one art piece that defines Salt Lake City because there are so many to choose from. Utah's capital has over 130 permanent public artworks that can be found in various forms across city-owned buildings, parks, sidewalks and plazas all across the city, according to the Salt Lake City Arts Council. There's a giant apricot in Marmalade serving as a nod to the neighborhood's orchard history, two dozen 8-foot fish sculptures that were added along the Jordan River Parkway Trail on the city's west side as a playful way to celebrate the river's ecosystem, and countless murals painted on the walls of large apartment complexes popping up across the city, to name a few recent additions.
