Music at Copper Common and East Liberty Tap House Join the Lounge at The Rose with Tolerance Poster Exhibition, Sundance Institute’s Creative Tensions on Tolerance Conversations and Cabaret Shows by SB Dance – Free Admittance and Open to the Public –
Visit Salt Lake is again helping locals and visitors alike get their Sundance Film Festival groove on in Utah’s capital city during the 10-day event, hosting the always-popular Festival Lounges at Copper Common and a new location, East Liberty Tap House in Sugar House, where local musicians are performing live nightly at 7 and 10 p.m. from Thursday, Jan. 24 through Sunday, Feb. 3. Full schedule follows.
A full lineup of art and dance at the Lounge at the Rose adds to film goers’ opportunities to become fully immersed in the Sundance Film Festival experience. The Rose Wagner on 300 South offers Tolerance Poster Art Installations; THE BLOCKS Truck, a pop-up screenprinting experience; Sundance Institute’s Creative Tensions on Tolerance conversations on Jan. 31 and Cabaret Shows by SB Dance including Drag Plus on Feb. 1 and Kinky Beasts on Feb. 2.
There is no entrance fee and it’s open to the public, but seating is limited. All Festival Lounges are ideal locations to discuss film, art, theater and cultural pursuits both pre- and post-screenings.
“With the growth in Salt Lake’s role in Sundance, we’ve felt it’s critical to continually enhance the Festival experience, be it before or after a film screening at one of the Lounges or simply relaxing and enjoying some excellent local music in a casual setting,” commented Scott Beck, president & CEO of Visit Salt Lake. “It’s been exciting to see the growth and success of Sundance here in Salt Lake, and I believe the urban experience offers something completely different, yet complementary, to that of the Park City scene.”
Locals and visitors alike can stay up-to-the-minute on all the happenings of the Festival experience in Salt Lake via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, the posts for which are being produced and curated by longtime Festival pros Steven Labrum and Joy Haynes. Labrum and Haynes are covering Salt Lake’s Festival offerings, attending numerous film screenings and interviewing both artists and attendees to ensure followers get the authentic feel for all angles of the Festival.
