It’s time again for the 300 Plates Fundraiser & Exhibition. This year’s event will be held on May 20th from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the Art Access Gallery.
In order to accommodate this event’s huge popularity and draw, we will be overflowing into the parking lot. An event tent will highlight the culinary delights of Gastronomy, Inc. and feature the dulcet tones of Aaron Rashaw and Steve Stewart of Fifth Fret. Additionally, the Utah Arts Festival space will become the purchasing hub for plate lovers.
We have 100 established and emerging Utah artists, 27 of whom are first timers to 300 Plates. All artists have created art in a variety of mediums on the 11” x 10” recycled metal printer’s plates you have grown to know and love. The plate prices will start at $75 and increase sequentially in one-dollar increments. As always, a small selection of plates will be placed in our silent auction.
Here is What to Expect

10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Plate preview
