Clever Cucumber is a free community art studio that operates on Salt Lake City’s west side. Their mission is to make art accessible to all. They offer monthly art classes and have supplies for use in different mediums, including woodworking (if contacted in advance). It's a great option to meet friends and have a third space for crafting.

Free Art Supply Libraries

They currently have two art supply libraries set up: outside their art studio at 1379 N. Miami Cir. in Salt Lake City and inside the UNP Hartland Partnership Center (1578 W. 1700 S.) in Glendale.

They’re looking to set up more art supply libraries near the Liberty Wells and Ballpark neighborhoods. If you know of any organizations, businesses, or homes that are interested in hosting a shelf long term, you can email them.

Upcoming Art Class

Space is limited, so sign up early.
