National NAME Conference 2017 “Our City, Your City” Cultural Engagement Guide On behalf of the NAME Site-Planning Committee, we want to welcome you to Salt Lake City. Our city is your city! Despite current suggestions that Salt Lake City has no “night life,” we have world- class microbreweries, outdoor activities, and plenty of opportunities to listen to live music, dancing, sporting events, and over 1,700 restaurants. In fact, in the past 10 years, the cultural diaspora is changing around the world and in our community. Many of today’s best ethnic restaurant owners are former refugees and immigrants from all over the world. We have prepared a cultural guide and suggestions of places to eat, see, and experience during your visit. We are delighted to share our suggestions. We have included both family-friendly, vegan and vegetarian food options, and late-night options. A couple of things to keep in mind during your visit: • Drinking in Utah: Utah has the reputation of having some quirky liquor laws. However, laws have changed. Bars are now bars. Anyone 21 and over can go into a bar and order a drink (beer, wine, cocktail, etc.). Restaurants are now restaurants, the majority of which offer alcoholic beverages to complement their fare -- beer, wine, cocktails, etc. All packaged liquor, wine and full-strength beer must be purchased from a Utah state liquor store or a package agency. Beer (with 3.2% alcohol content by weight) in bottles or cans may be purchased to go at most grocery and convenience stores in Utah. There are several bars and social clubs just a few blocks away from the hotel. You can walk and/or order a city taxi, Uber, and/or Lyft. • Climate: November is a beautiful time in Salt Lake City, the scenery is breathtaking. Nearby canyons are filled with vibrant colors as the trees prepare for winter, while temperatures remain warm enough for comfortable outdoor recreation. Evenings can be chilly and toward the end of Fall snow is typical in both mountains and valley. Please keep in mind: weather changes can happen rapidly; dressing in layers provides the best level of comfort for changing conditions. You will want to bring something warm to wear in the evenings and a sweater for daytime wear. In most years, Salt Lake City averages a daily maximum temperature for November that's between 45 and 54 degrees Fahrenheit (7 to 12 degrees Celsius). The minimum temperature usually falls between 28 and 34 °F (-3 to 1 °C).

They are the Ultimate Guide to planning your trip.

It has already worked as a catalyst of change for many Salt Lake City high school students. “When you buy coffee from Mestizo’s, your dollar is going right back into community and youth,” we are a mixed group of artists, activists, community builders, and private investors. While offering a unique taste in fair trade organic coffees, specialty drinks, and culturally-diverse foods, the coffeehouse also offers fresh pastries and unique local samples of specialty foods—located on the corner of 600 West and North Temple inside CitiFront apartment court yard. Mestizo’s Coffeehouse shares space with its sister organization, the Mestizo Institute of Culture and Arts (MICA). In addition to youth who benefit from MICA’s non-profit arts and cultural mentorship programs, 20 high school students are participating in the Mestizo Arts and Activism Program (MAA). In partnership with the University Neighborhood Partners, participants of MAA meet twice a week after school to develop action research projects based on their personal and communal interest. Providing community space at no charge for a huge variety of events, and voted best MOCHA and Open MIC NIGHT by City Weekly, the coffee shop is fast becoming a "Westside" destination. Mestizo Coffeeshop is approximately an 18 minute trax ride. Walk towards the “Gallivan Plaza Station” board the “Green Line” towards Airport. Get off on “North Temple/Guadalupe Station”. When you’re riding the Airport TRAX Line, don’t forget to take a look at the artwork at each station. Every stop features a unique piece of art designed to enhance the public transit experience and reflect the area’s rich cultural and natural history. In the Jackson\Euclid station, you will be able to see and experience the magnificent art installation by Utah’s own Chicana artist Rudy Chacon. It is a community collaboration between the artist Ruby Chacón, Mestizo Arts and Activism Collective and its youth researchers, Mestizo Institute of Culture and Arts, Mestizo Coffeehouse, 500+ community members, writers, and artist apprentices. The project began with youth researchers developing and distributing surveys throughout the community including the neighborhood in which this station is located. The artist apprentices analyzed the data from the surveys and created images with Chacón to translate and paint onto individual aluminum panels; forming these murals. Using the imagery as their inspiration, four community poets, including an 11-year-old boy, created the written works. The survey data helped inform the three themes represented in these murals: (1) Past, Present, Future in the Arts Education, (2) Experiential Knowledge Working Together, and (3) Building Utah For more information on the art project, visit: https://maacollective.org/archives/trax-mural-project/ Dia de Los Muertos Altar Exhibit For an optional cultural activity, we highly recommend visiting the Dia de Los Muertos/Day of the Dead Exhibit and community gathering at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center (UCCC) in West Valley City, UT. The celebration features a variety of exciting, educational, and hands-on activities for the whole !4 family, plus a chance to experience a folk-art exhibit recognizing this significant and expressive Mexican holiday. $5 ADMISSION, KIDS UNDER 12 & STUDENTS WITH ID FREE.
