Repurposed and upcycled

The Urban Art Gallery is hosting a “Lost and Found” vintage market, Sunday from noon to 8 p.m. at the gallery, 116 Rio Grande St., Salt Lake City, in The Gateway. The market is inviting vendors who sell vintage clothing and goods, repurposed and upcycled from used items. The show is paired with the gallery’s current exhibition, “Lost and Found,” which celebrates the art of collage, taking old items and finding new uses for them. There is no entry fee for the market or exhibition.

What is Black Violin?

Bridging the gap between classical and hip-hop, the instrumental duo Black Violin — violinist Kevin “Kev Marcus” Sylvester and violist Wilner “Wil B.” Baptiste — perform a fusion of both genres, as well as jazz and funk. The duo have released five albums and two mixtapes, and their foundation reaches some 100,000 students a year through free performances and other outreach. The duo performs Wednesday, 7:30 p.m., at Eccles Theater, 131 S. Main, Salt Lake City. Tickets available through ArtTix.org.
