On January 25th we debuted the Great Salt Lake Hopeline phone booth on the steps of the Utah State Capitol as part of the Rally to Save Our Great Salt Lake. Listen to our first episode which includes voicemails from activists, poetry, and more.

Great Salt Lake Hopeline is a community art project and interactive audio experience that invites callers to connect with Great Salt Lake by recording a voicemail story of hope, hearing sounds from the lake’s shoreline, or listening to previously recorded voicemails from fellow callers. Callers can engage through our upcycled, mobile GSL Hopeline Phone Booth, which will pop up at events across Salt Lake City, or by dialing (979) GSL-HOPE. Voicemails collected will be woven into a podcast and short film, amplifying community voices and sparking dialogue about the preservation of Great Salt Lake.

Great Salt Lake Hopeline was made possible by Wake the Great Salt Lake, a temporary art project that aims to educate and inspire residents and visitors to understand and prevent the further decline of the Great Salt Lake, supported by the Salt Lake City Arts Council, the Salt Lake City Mayor's Office, and the Bloomberg Philanthropies Public Art Challenge.
