In the one year since its arrival, the 9th and 9th whale has gathered a cultish following, and many Utahns credit the sculpture with bringing record-breaking snow to our state.
SALT LAKE CITY — In April of 2022, a giant rainbow whale went up in the middle of an intersection in a quirky Salt Lake City neighborhood.
The Church of the Sacred Whale has a following that grows with each winter storm — Utahns taking to social media, singing their praises for the snow that has brought incredible ski conditions and a relief to the drought.“Public art, that's one of the things it does," said Renato Olmedo-González, the public art program manager for the Salt Lake City Arts Council.
“It's a place where a lot of people from different backgrounds, different beliefs come together, and a whale being ‘out of the blue’ was sort of a way that the artist wanted to talk about the neighborhood," he said."He lived here for a while, and how he felt like a whale in the desert, and how he was embraced by the community.”
