SLCene Suggests: Captain Captain Open Studio

CAPTAIN CAPTAIN OPEN STUDIO, 825 S. 500 West, Salt Lake City, Saturday, Oct. 20, 7-11 p.m., free

The open studio parties every six months or so at Captain Captain studio are always a good time, offering a chance to mix and mingle with a bunch of Salt Lake art lovers while checking out both completed works and works-in-progress by a bunch of the resident artists. In Captain Captain’s case, that’s a true treat, because the studio is home to some of the best Utah contemporary artists working today, including Trent Call, Trent Alvey (work pictured below), Berkley Frei, Justin Carruth, Steven Larsen, Tessa Lindsey, Diane Borg, Jenny Hambleton, Chase McCleary and Suzi Elmore. While you wander and chat this Saturday, there’s a bonus: Portland-based video artist and musician Alexis Gideon will be on hand to showcase his latest multi-media project, Video Musics III: Floating Oceans. Gideon’s video installations have appeared at Manhatten’s New Museum, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Santa Fe Art Institute and more. Lewis Brothers food truck will be on hand to serve up some delicious fare (get the greens ‘n’ fries), and make a night of it! You won’t be sorry.
