What to Do: Poor Yorick, Fashion Stroll, Performances, Chinese Gates, Artist Books & More
It’s that time of year, when the weather can shift from brisk autumn to languid summer, all within a 24 hour period. Either way, it’s a perfect time to get out and about. A chance to wear that snazzy new jacket at night, or strip down to shirtsleeves […]
Things To Do This Week: Escalante Canyon, Centennial Valley
Two exciting opportunities this week, in two entirely different directions, for artists and art lovers to enjoy the great outdoors.

Rose Exposed: Fall Arts Preview
In some September editions past we’ve included a seasonal performing arts preview – half a dozen paragraphs describing various dance, music and theatre groups and what you might expect to see from them in the coming months. Some bright person out there has come up with something better: […]
Way Wei: New Documentary on Ai Weiwei at the Broadway
Considering its population, China has a disproportionately small amount of international art stars (though we likely all have a sense that will change if the cogs of China’s economic engine continues to churn unimpeded). Maybe that’s because though the increasingly wealthy Chinese can pull off oligarchical money grabs and […]
The Face of Utah Sculpture
Eight years ago local sculptor and glass artist Dan Cummings wanted to find a venue to show off Utah’s 3-D talents. He found a partner in West Vally City’s Utah Cultural Celebration Center and the Face of Utah Sculpture exhibit was born. Tonight is the opening iteration of […]
