THREE CREEKS CONFLUENCE- REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
The Jordan River Reactivation & Riparian Restoration Project seeks to restore, highlight and reactivate a formerly neglected area along the Jordan River in Salt Lake City and to highlight the site where Red Butte Creek, Emigration Creek, and Parleys Creek merge with the Jordan River. The site, known as the Three Creeks Confluence, is a unique geographic location within the Jordan River watershed and provides an opportunity to establish a green infrastructure asset along the Jordan River corridor, Jordan River Parkway Trail, and within the Glendale neighborhood.

Artists that are familiar with the Glendale Neighborhood and the unique hydrology of Salt Lake City are encouraged to apply.
ELIGIBILITY – Open to professional artists or artist-led teams residing in Utah. Artists residing in or that are from Glendale are encouraged to apply.
