See this Great Salt Lake-inspired art display before it's gone

• The work was created by environmentally conscious artist Olafur Eliasson, known for his large-scale displays around the world.
• Grammy-winning producer Koreless crafted the art installation's sounds, which are made up of more than 150 recordings of animals and other living organisms at the lake, from migratory birds to brine flies.

If you go: The free 30-minute art show debuted last week and runs nightly at 9pm through Saturday.

• Expect a crowd: Organizers estimate around 1,800 people have attended each night so far.

The big picture: Utah is facing a challenging water year after the state's snowpack hit a record low in February — levels not seen since the 1980s.

Between the lines: The display is the result of a $1 million Bloomberg Philanthropies grant to Salt Lake City to fund temporary public art installations to bring awareness to the lake.

The bottom line: "Data and science don't always reach hearts and minds," Felicia Baca, executive director of the Salt Lake City Arts Council, told Axios. She added that she hopes the growing attention around the lake will spur meaningful action to save it.
