We're Collectible!

One of the hallmarks of the 337 Project so far is that you can't take it with you. Most of the works created for 337 Project events are site-specific and are destroyed at the end of the run. But that doesn't mean you can't add work by a 337 Project artist to your collection.

Yesterday's Salt Lake Tribune featured an article on starting a collection in which Jeff Lambson, Curator of Contemporary Art at BYU MOA, specifically called out the artists of the 337 Project as a good place to start. According to Lambson:

Collections should pay attention to artists whose work has appeared in roughly three "significant" shows, and he spoke repeatedly of a growing and vibrant community of up-and-coming Salt Lake area artists, including some featured in last summer's 337 Project. "Buy what you love," Lambson said. "And what you can afford."

So, just remember that if you see a piece of work you love at a 337 Project event, but you can't take it with you, I'm always happy to introduce you to the artist that created it. You can contact me at adam@337project.org.
