Artists of Utah is pleased to welcome Carol Fulton to its Board of Directors. Carol grew up traveling the world (she has lived in Brazil, Ireland, Portugal, the Dutch West Indies and the USA) in a family full of art lovers and collectors. It was only when she […]
You probably recognize her work. Not only because Park City’s Gallery MAR has featured her work every January for the past three years, but because the graphic jouissance of her looping black lines and the chromatic splendour of her palette are hard to forget. Amy Ringholz’s solo show at […]
edited by Terrece Beesley This week Ogden’s Palette Club announced the winners of their annual exhibition at the Eccles Community Art Center in Ogden. Mac Stevenson, who shows regularly at Ogden’s Gallery 25, won the overall Best of Show award for his watercolor “East Wind.” […]
You hear from us about the need to raise funds twice a year, in the Spring and Fall. Of course, we’re thinking about it all year long. With our 35X35 exhibit, Utah’s 15, and other programs in 2013 fundraising is particularly on our mind. We need to raise […]
You may notice that we are starting 2013 with a slightly new format. Most things look the same, but taking advantage of the increasingly large resolution of most monitors we have broadened our layout space. This gives us more rooms for images — so you can soak up […]
To judge by the number of announcements we have received from them this week the Bountiful Davis Art Center’s (BDAC) resolution was to start the New Year with lots of movement. They’ve announced that Sherry Rauch has been elected as the new Chair for the center’s Board of Trustees. […]
We had a great 2012! During this year we matched $15,000 in government and private foundation money with an equal amount from individuals and businesses in the community. We were able to make this budget strong and flexible, using it to produce our monthly editions, plus expanded coverage […]
EVE, Salt Lake’s three-day new year celebration of light art and sound, happens this weekend at ten different venues downtown. During the celebrations there’s plenty of live music at the Gallivan Center, but if you want to get out of the cold there are a number of […]
Hopefully many of you have been taking advantage of all this fresh powder; and if you’ve headed to Park City to ski you’ll have noticed that the galleries there are back in full swing after their fall time hibernation. Tonight is the Park City Gallery Association’s December Gallery […]
For over 50 years a Salt Lake City neighborhood has celebrated the season by displaying paintings illustrating the Bible story of the nativity in their front yards. The current owners of the houses aren’t sure how the tradition started, they just know that when they moved in they […]
If the world ends this Friday in apocalypse and devastation, as predicted by the Mayan calendar, we’ll all miss out on the much-anticipated arrival of CUAC Contemporary. Opening Saturday December 22, 2012, from 8-10 PM from 6-10 PM and located on the corner of 2nd and 2nd, CUAC’s […]
We’re excited to announce that our 35X35 exhibit is returning to Finch Lane Gallery. 35X35 is our showcase of work by Utah’s young generation of artists. The exhibit features work by 35 artists 35 or younger, providing the artists with a unique exhibition opportunity as well as extended […]
As the Park City Record has reported this week, the Kimball Art Center’s proposed expansion is causing something of a dustup among Park City residents. The $10 million renovation and expansion has been designed by BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group of Copenhagen and New York (see our article here). The […]
Local artist Mary Jane Wright Straight passed away on November 20, 2012. She was an upbeat individual, always ready with a laugh or anecdote, Mary will be missed by her family and the many members of our art community who enjoyed her company. The third of four children, […]
We should come up with a name for this — the one time a year when Salt Lake Gallery Stroll shifts from the third Friday to the first. It happens every December, a pragmatic realization that by the third Friday in December people have tons of holiday gatherings […]
Ann Poore takes a look at the new definitive work on LeConte Stewart.
The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (UMOCA) announced today that Adam Price, its Executive Director since 2009, will be leaving the museum before the end of the year. Price oversaw the transformation of the institution from the Salt Lake Art Center into the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, […]
