It will be easier to find and learn about downtown Salt Lake City’s street art, thanks to a new mobile app launching this week.
The app catalogs more than 40 murals and public art pieces in downtown Salt Lake City, creating a self-guided walkable tour. People can scan QR codes on plaques near the designated art pieces to learn about each artwork and the artist behind it — and be guided to other public art nearby.
The Blocks, the campaign to promote downtown Salt Lake City’s cultural district, will throw a block party to launch the app on Friday from 4 p.
