Earlier in June, the Utah Pride Foundation celebrated Pride Month with a story garden in Salt Lake City featuring the work of many LGBTQ artists. UPR’s Darcy Ritchie spoke with two of the featured artists about the power of art and their experiences as members of the LGBTQ community in Utah.
The sound of passing cars and nearby construction is the soundtrack to Megan Wilson’s art studio on the third floor balcony of her apartment complex.
Wilson is studying art at Utah State University with an emphasis in printmaking.
“It s a really unique thing, because it s such a historically heavy kind of art form, which I suppose they all are, Wilson said. But in my realm of interest, which is like social systems, it particularly plays a big part. It s basically like making newspapers but with art.”
