Lost Acorn Gallery — Attraction in Salt Lake City

This gallery reached out to me repeatedly saying they would love to have our printing press for an event. We discussed the details of the show, including set up time, accommodations, etc. I asked if there was anything we needed to know and they confirmed the details repeatedly in writing. They never mentioned any type of a fee.

An entire week AFTER the show Mitch sent Parker to tell me I owed $250 to “rent” the gallery for that night. They asked me if I had cash and if I could pay them right then which was very strange. They said it was a sliding scale fee depending on how well the artist did at the show. The event was not promoted by the gallery.

I requested an invoice for my records at which point Mitch said he would rather not speak to me ever again. I guess he couldn’t come up with an explanation to justify why he was claiming I should owe him a fee I was never informed of.

Artists beware and do not do business with this group without a signed contract and clear expectations. I have received numerous DM’s about how Mitch treats local artists since this interaction. They will try to rob you. Our community...

I took the stained glass class and the torch work class. They were both very fun, but the torch work class was my favorite. The instructor is super laid back, non-judgmental, and nice. He isn’t very organized, his passion is obviously the artwork, not scheduling and finances (it’s no problem, you just need to take initiative to communicate about payment, etc.). In both classes you learn foundational principles that you can use to build on and make all sorts of stuff later (if you have equipment for it). However, you are not creatively restricted in the torch work class and make fun things in both classes. The instructor is a great teacher. Safety is not highly focused on in the classes. He tells you a few things and gives you some safety glasses, but if you do something wrong or aren’t very careful, you will likely get injured. Despite this, I give it five stars because it was such a...

Lost Acorn Gallery is such a fantastic space run by folks that have it made it their personal mission to uplift local makers and artists. This gallery has a focus on community that many fine art spaces don’t. There’s always a diverse range of shows, classes, and events, something for everyone. They support our community through the arts and by cultivating a space for artists at all points of their career to share their work.

My experiences with the owners of Lost Acorn have been nothing short of wonderful. They’re kind, helpful, enthusiastic, passionate, and genuine. Their passion for the arts and community can be seen in every single show and event organized and facilitated by their team. There is so much care put into every artist, guest, and experience within the space. Our arts community has been incredibly positively impacted by Lost Acorn Gallery! ...
