Making Waves gather community to create lake-facing culture through participatory art. They will be featuring their Dear Pelican Project by flying giant pelican puppets through the grounds of the Utah Art Festival. The puppets were made to raise awareness about the flock of 20,000 pelicans who have fled their nesting grounds at the Great Salt Lake due to low lake levels. on Gunnison Island because the Lake level got too low for them to stay. Making Waves reminds us of the urgency for all Utahns to be part of the solution in saving the Great Salt Lake.
