FEATURED ARTIST – RENAE CANNON
We are pleased to present our 2024 Street Fair Featured Artist Renae Cannon, who is the co-owner of Avenues on Fourth at 376 East 4th Avenue. Renae is an accomplished painter and muralist. Pictured above is the theme image she has created for this year’s Avenues Street Fair . This image will appear on this year’s event poster and t-shirt, as well as be on display for sale at her booth which will be on 3rd Avenue between F and G Streets adjacent to the GACC Headquarters booth. Look for her art and all the fun items next door at the Avenues on Fourth booth. Renae says, “Being born and raised in Salt Lake City I have always had a love for the history and cultural of SLC. The Avenues is a magical place in the city! It has a small town vibe combined with the cosmopolitan energy of downtown. The pride and friendship of our neighborhood extends to businesses, neighbors, visitors, and tourists. What the Avenues means to me? A feel of timelessness. A place that stays happy!!!” See more of Renae’s art HERE
