When it comes to the cultural significance of the West, there are at least three versions—the Mythic, the Romantic and the Real—and each version can more or less apply in either the past or the present. The Myths of the West might best be found in pulp literature, […]
Cultivated Surfaces, the name of Nathan Mulford’s new show at “A” Gallery (where it is surrounded by the recently reviewed works of Jeff Juhlin and Halee Roth, among others) is without doubt one of the finest exhibition titles to come along in a while. To understand why, it […]
If you happened to have visited The True and the Real exhibition at UMOCA during the NCECA annual conference back in March, you probably came across Jason Walker’s “Trophic Cascade.” The sculpture presents a jaguar poised to launch at its prey from a tree hybridized with civic sewer […]
There certainly is no shortage of talent exhibited at the Urban Arts Gallery. Dozens of local artists display their work throughout the high-ceilinged retail space the gallery occupies in the Gateway Mall—a perfect stop for tourists and locals alike to pick up gifts or souvenirs from the Salty […]
Over the summer of 2025, the Ballpark neighborhood of Salt Lake City has become an open-air gallery, thanks to the Ballpark Mural Program—a creative initiative that brought ten new murals to walls across the district. “The Ballpark mural program has turned the Ballpark neighborhood into an open-air gallery,” […]

In her newest body of work, Meri DeCaria turns inward, translating grief and renewal into color, rhythm, and form. Created in the wake of her husband Mark’s passing in 2021, the series represents an introspective exploration of what she calls “a reflection of my new reality.” “These pieces […]
On walking into the Street Gallery at UMOCA and seeing the paintings of Elizabeth Malaska for the first time, they just might appear—and there may be no more accurate word—grotesque. Consider “Oracle,” which is the closest to the entrance. Three women sit close, their backs to a table […]
Cutting and baling hay is an indescribably difficult task. It requires every muscle and every ounce of endurance in your body. Stacking bales in a hot barn is like no other weightlifting activity. The deep exhaustion of this work is standard daily life on a ranch or farm. […]
For 15 years, loveDANCEmore has served as a catalyst for Utah’s experimental dance community, presenting performances, publishing criticism and sustaining a dialogue about what it means to make and witness dance in Utah. Founded by choreographer and educator Ashley Anderson, the organization has evolved from a grassroots effort […]
Not all photos should be paintings: landscape details that captivate in a photograph can look tedious in paint, and it’s really hard to make a toothy, smiling person look good in a painting (not everyone can be Franz Hals). Which is why there are so many bad paintings […]
Set against the backdrop of the Taylorsville City Hall campus, the Mid-Valley Performing Arts Center has become a gathering place for both performance and visual art. The center opened in 2021 after years of planning and brings much-needed theater and rehearsal space to the middle and southwest parts […]

The Sears Art Museum’s current pairing of the work of Bruce Beasley and Albert Dicruttalo invites viewers to consider two accomplished contemporary sculptors and the dynamic relationship between mentor and protégé.
