G-1: Bloomberg Philanthropies Wake the Great Salt Lake
Misc. Grants
$1,000,000.00
Department: Salt Lake City Arts Council (ED)
Prepared By: Felicia Baca; Amy Dorsey
Salt Lake City applied for a grant with Bloomberg Philanthropies. The grant aims to educate and inspire residents and
visitors to identify possible solutions and take action locally and nationally. Public art projects will be structured
around major themes such as water conservation, air quality, agriculture, industry, environmental and social justice -
including indigenous rights and lake ecology. Salt Lake City's proposed project consists of i) a series of 3-5 significant
artworks created by world-renowned artists across the city. These artists will be selected to leverage their notoriety and
practice while bringing awareness to our civic issues. 2) a series of temporary public art projects by local and regional
artists and organizations in various disciplines, including but not limited to performers, sculptors, painters, muralists,
printmakers, filmmakers, poets, new media, etc. By commissioning our local community of artists to create context
and site -specific artworks about the Great Salt Lake, our local community will be able to reflect on this crisis in new
and compelling ways.
Bloomberg Philanthropies is awarding the City $1,000,000 to fund the two-year public art project, Wake the Great Salt
Lake.
Salt Lake City will be providing a match of $i,o6o,000 with in -kind staff time and other grant funding.
A public hearing was held on April 18, 2023.

The State has given the City an increase for the Homeless Mitigation grant. As a reminder, the City was awarded

maintenance, 2) Two sub -awards for Volunteers of America and Downtown Alliance, and 3) 2 HEART Coordinators, a
Case Manager, half the salary of a grant's person along with training, travel, and program supplies.
