Bringing together ceramic sculpture, pottery and painting, the exhibition explores connections to the natural world, spirituality and the passage of time.<\/p>\n<p>DeRose\u2019s sculptural figures draw inspiration from a folk legend of women who were once birds and the movement of time like a river. Ceramic vessels by Banga and Alward emphasize the tactile qualities of clay and its connection to the earth, while Lester\u2019s paintings explore spirituality and the natural world. Curated by DeRose, the exhibition invites viewers to slow down and reconnect with elemental experiences of earth, air, sunlight and wind.<\/p>\n<p>Gallery East \u2014 Central Instruction Building<br \/>\nUtah State University Eastern<br \/>\nPrice, UT<br \/>\nHours: Monday\u2013Friday, 9 a.m.\u20135 p.m. Closed weekends and holidays.<br \/>\nAdmission: Free<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Price November 10 \u2013 December 11, 2026 Closing Reception and Gallery Talk: Thursday, December 10, 6\u20138 p.m. Gallery East at Utah State University Eastern presents Of Earth and Air, a group exhibition featuring four graduates of USU\u2019s art program: Janimarie Lester DeRose, Dave Banga, Tom Alward and DeAnn [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":106954,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[25,40],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-106953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exhibitions","category-to_the_south"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":true,"date":"2026-12-12 15:37:51","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[0],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Jani-2-scaled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/47"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106953"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106953\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":106955,"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106953\/revisions\/106955"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
