A collector is someone who has more art than they have wall space. They purchase art not simply because they have walls to cover, but because they have developed an addiction for beauty that is more powerful than mere interior design. Bevan Chipman is a collector. His Salt […]
by Rowe Smith Since this is my story (see article in this month’s edition) might I tell you about my first painting sale. Here in this market, any painting sale is important. This copy is the lead paragraph from a story that ran in the Desert News January […]

The month of December is never like the rest of the lazy daisy months the rest of the year, it’s a little different and so is the Gallery Stroll. Normally held on the third Friday of the month the galleries know that December is just too busy of […]
There are few competitions like it in Utah: Your reputation is irrelevant. Your resume is immaterial. There is no entry fee. Any Utahn 18 years or older has a fair chance. First-time applicants may get juried in; strong, well-known artists may get juried out. The artwork must stand […]
Area restaurants aren’t the only alternative venue for emerging artists. While having their hair styled at Sargeant Salon, David Sargeant’s clients get to view fine art originals instead of the usual cheesy posters of hair models.

Clyde’s photographs were hanging for a time at Angles Café and Gallery, which took the space at 5th West and 2nd South recently vacated by Mestizo gallery. Midway through the exhibition, however, Clyde’s works were […]
