“The Gateway is becoming much more experience driven with a focus on community and entertainment,” said Hatch.

Earlier this month, Vestar debuted two murals by international art collectives 2Alas and Dourone. The first is across from the Planetarium TRAX station on 400 West and is by 2Alas, an art collective comprised of New Yorker Andrew Antonaccio and Cuban-born Filio Galvez. The mural is titled “Loretta Young” after the Utah-born, Academy-award winning actress. The textured mural is designed to visually change when viewed through a camera lens and according to the artists, it is a modern interpretation of what it means to be human in a heavily mediated society.

On the north face of the Clark Planetarium is Dourone’s “Two World Faces.” Dourone, aka Fabio Lopez Gonzalo, started as a graffiti artist in Madrid and focuses his work on urban spaces.
