Utah Gallery spotlights published in 15 Bytes, featuring galleries from Logan to St. George.
As we scan Utah’s artistic landscape, sometimes with apprehension and sometimes with hope—depending on whether we are noting the venues that are closing or those that are opening—we should remember to look for and note the many non-traditional venues supporting the arts in the state: libraries, cafes, bookstores.

A Weber State University art grad who lives in Provo with his wife and two young children, Tyler Alexander has been working in the Utah County art world for several years—as a studio assistant to both Kirk Richards and Colby Sanford, and most recently as a gallery assistant […]
It’s always worthwhile to keep an eye out for new places to see art, but lately in Utah it’s become vital. Independent galleries come and go, but lately our public galleries have become endangered. The Rio and Alice, each in its own way a wonderful place to see […]
A college town home to more than 35,000 students, Provo has never been short of exciting initiatives. But due to that same demographic—cash-strapped and transient—few last for very long; which can make it hard to create a gallery scene. At the moment, however, Provo seems to be thriving, […]
Four Lemons, a charming shoppe (I’ve always wanted to write ‘shoppe’) that opened Oct. 4 at 4850 South Highland Drive, is an upscale Pier 1 imports-type store for home interior DIYers. Subtitled “Art Within Reach,” it’s 7,000 square-feet filled with really nice, decidedly eclectic decor you can work […]
Diana Alberghini told her bosses it was time to get rid of the prints. “We have really elevated furniture in here, so we need elevated art,” she told them. And that’s how Forsey’s Fine Furniture, a family-owned business that’s been around since 1951, became a gallery space. Forsey’s […]
Utah’s newest and smallest gallery opened in Helper this past weekend. The size of a mailbox, the gallery is located on the west side Helper’s Main Street. The Helper Mini is the brain child of Kevin K. Perry, a designer and artist who has been active in the […]
Bountiful may not be known as a mecca for fine art, but Ramble Gallery is hoping to change that. On Main Street, at the edge of Bountiful’s Historic District, and a short 4-minute walk from the Bountiful Davis Art Center, Quin Boardman, Dave Trevino and Brodie Poll have […]
Museums have a feeling of permanence about them, which they try to impart to the contemporary art they’ve recently started showing. Good luck with that. Galleries, meanwhile, come and go, their fates mostly linked to the individual directors who start them, give them character, and close them down […]
Despite the threat of winter storms this past weekend, Moonglass Antiques, in conjunction with Provo’s Oddduck Studio, unveiled Moonglass Gallery on State Street in Orem. A cozy venue unexpectedly nestled in the back of Moonglass Antiques, Utah County’s newest gallery space invites patrons to warm themselves in a […]
This might be the one gallery we don’t want to move downtown. With the number of galleries closing up or moving away from our bedraggled, yearning city center (see our article here), any new blood would be welcome blood. Right? But Mestizo Arts’ strength, its crowning achievement, its […]
At South Salt Lake’s newest art gallery, Material, collaboration and community are the same word. Born from the creative minds of local art personas Jorge Rojas and Colour Maisch, Material stands as a model for the progressive art gallery. “As Salt Lake City continues to grow and rents […]
Salt Lake City, and Utah more generally, needs more housing. It’s indisputable. But one suspects that in five or ten years, or even less, all these apartment dwellers embracing urban life are going to be like, “You know what would be really cool? If this neighborhood had an […]
After more than 20 years on 800 South, just off State Street, and after having hosted more than 200 Gallery Stroll receptions and championed some terrific emerging artists, HORNE Fine Art is closing its doors. “We will not be opening another gallery,” says Karen Horne. “I don’t want […]
Downtown Provo’s Center Street boasts eclectic food, shopping, art and architecture: many buildings date between 1880 and 1930. The street’s culture is an alluring backdrop to the monthly Art Stroll, a self-guided tour of the places, art and people that persuade us to get up, go out, and […]
In certain respects the spaces couldn’t be more different. The one is a wide, dimly-lit, makeshift sort of space, tucked away in an untrafficked area on the second floor of the University Place Mall in Orem. The other is a sprawling mansion, perched on a hill, surrounded by […]
This Friday, Park City’s Gallery MAR opens an exhibition celebrating 15 years of business with a show that focuses on the gallery’s roster: all 30 artists will be represented by works that measure 15 x 15 inches. All that work wouldn’t come together without the vision of the […]
