Utah Exhibition Reviews published in 15 Bytes, Utah’s art magazine, including reviews of local Utah artists, regional artists, group exhibitions and traveling exhibits of national and international artists.
by William C. Seifrit Rich. Varied. Often exciting. Well presented. These descriptors come quickly to mind with an initial walk-through of the 2005 Springville Salon. Many familiar names are represented; some old favorites are not. Newer, less well-known artists are also shown, and I find their inclusion encouraging […]

by Brian Christensen What do you expect to see during a visit to Sanpete County in central Utah; sheep wandering across a small town main street, beau colic landscape, turkey farms? In general, you would be right, but if you are talking about Ephraim, Utah you might also […]
by Jean Arnold Sometimes life is stranger than fiction; something happens in our lives that we never could have imagined beforehand. In 2000, when I first met my cousin, Lee Worden, at a mutual cousin’s wedding, I knew little about his father, Adam, nor Adam’s partner Bhavani, or […]

by Chris Brooks Now that 15 bytes is back, I have been wondering if Artists of Utah will also be getting back to exhibitions — like their 35 x 35 in December of 2002, which I enjoyed very much. Editor Shawn Rossiter has assured me that AoU is […]

Exhibition Profile: Provo Thoroughly Modern: Henri’s Women by Christopher Wilson At the dawn of the 20th century, a revolutionary American art teacher inspired a group of women artists to break from tradition and create art that reflected their lives. Nearly a century later, a new exhibition at the Brigham […]
by Jessica Geddes Latin art in America today unveils a culture rich in emotion and charged by everyday influences. The art produced in the Latino community reflects the emotional bonds to family and earth. The artwork gives the viewer a glimpse into very personal experiences and unique viewpoints […]

After first being approached about the exhibit, Alvey gave her show a working title of “Tibet Series” even though she had never been […]
by Dee Moffett Sometimes I feel that when I go to Gallery Stroll I am seeing the same things every month. Maybe I am going to the wrong galleries, but I often find myself leaving shows thinking “I’ve seen that before.” Such was not the case this past […]
by Alex Caldiero The first time I saw Frank McEntire’s work was back in 1986. He had a one-person museum exhibit called “Divining.” In that show I was particularly impressed by his wrapped divining rods and the boxes full of “things,” things at once precious and banal. My […]
