Project Art Heals Utah

Overview

“Through creativity and imagination, we find our identity and our reservoir of healing.”

Project Art Heals Utah is a collaborative mosaic art project using empty COVID-19 vaccine vials, clean healthcare waste from University of Utah patient care areas, and physical and virtual mementos donated by those that have suffered loss due to COVID-19.

Utah is the epicenter for the project, but it is all-inclusive for anyone feeling compelled to contribute.

12	Dinosaur	Anonymous #1545	The kids love seeing the dinosaur fossils at the U's Natural History Museum. Once COVID hit, we stopped going. It seems like a trivial loss, but it was our go-to family activity. How strange to feel scared of going to a museum. Fortunately, we made some [...]
