Paul Housberg’s installation, Ribbons in Time, was designed to weave subtle ribbons of color throughout the interior of the Eccles Theater. Drawing inspiration from the blues and grays of the Great Salt Lake, the warm yellows and oranges of sunsets, and the golds and pinks of Southern Utah’s canyons, the artwork balances vibrancy and restraint. Its lively hues create a graceful, festive atmosphere that shines through the theater’s façade, while its minimalist design invites each viewer to form their own personal connection with the colors.

This public art project was funded by the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City. Special thanks to the Salt Lake Art Design Board, Salt Lake City Arts Council, and Salt Lake City Corporation for their assistance with this project.
