Opening reception for the Transgender art exhibit. Hosted in the Lower Urban Room of the Main Library. Exhibit runs March 18–April 5.

The City Library is proud to announce the Transgender Art Exhibit: Transgender Celebration 2024, a vibrant and inclusive collection of art dedicated to celebrating transgender lives, experiences, and creativity. Located in the Lower Urban Room of the Main Library, this exhibit aims to foster understanding, dialogue, and appreciation for the transgender community. The City Library invites everyone to engage with this transformative exhibition.

A reception with the artists will be held on Saturday, March 30, 3–5pm.

Exhibition Highlights:

  • “Transcendence”: This captivating collection features thought-provoking paintings, sculptures, and mixed-media works by local transgender artists and/or art about transgender people. From bold self-portraits to abstract expressions of identity, “Transcendence” invites visitors to explore the rich tapestry of transgender experiences.

  • “Metamorphosis”: A series of powerful art pieces that chronicle personal journeys of transformation. These visual narratives capture the resilience, courage, and authenticity of transgender individuals as they navigate their unique paths.

  • Community Voices: The gallery hosts installations where visitors can share in the stories, reflections, and hopes of transgender people from all walks of life. These contributions amplify the diverse voices within
    the transgender community.

This exhibit runs March 18–April 5.

About the branch

NOTE: The Main Library's Rooftop Terrace is closed for renovations.

Salt Lake City's Main Library, designed by internationally-acclaimed architect Moshe Safdie in conjunction with VCBO Architecture, opened in February 2003 and remains one of the most architecturally unique structures in Utah. This striking 240,000 square-foot structure houses more than 500,000 books and other materials, yet serves as more than just a repository of books and computers. It reflects and engages the city's imagination and aspirations. The structure embraces a public plaza, with shops and services at ground level, reading galleries above, and a 300-seat auditorium.

A multi-level reading area along the Glass Lens at the southern facade of the building looks out onto the plaza with stunning views of the city and Wasatch Mountains beyond. Spiraling fireplaces on four floors resemble a column of flame from the vantage of 200 East and 400 South. The Urban Room between the Library and the Crescent Wall is a space for all seasons, generously endowed with daylight and open to magnificent views.
