The New SLC Unveiling and Opening

The Salt Lake City Department of Airports (SLCDA) held an Unveiling Ceremony August 27 that revealed awe-inspiring, large-scale art installations for the first phase of The New SLC Airport.

SLCDA Executive Director Bill Wyatt welcomed attendees with a look back. “This moment has been 25 years in the making,” Wyatt noted. The unveiling program began with a blessing and land acknowledgement by Ute Spiritual Leader Larry Cesspooch. Speakers included Utah’s Lt. Governor Spencer Cox, Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenall, Salt Lake City Council Chair Chris Wharton, Delta Air Lines Vice President Scott Santoro and Consulting Artist Gordon Huether.
