SALT LAKE CITY â A new mural in Salt Lake City is part of a larger goal to address anti-racism in the community.
Utahn Conversations and The Patagonia Outlet partnered on the project in hopes of sparking critical conversations centered around anti-racism in the wake of George Floyd s murder last year.
The mural features local flowers such as the parry primrose, Wasatch penstemon and mountain sunflower as well as mountain ranges to represent the connection to Utah. Artist Blondine Jean-Packard was chosen by Patagonia to create the piece.
