\nUtah’s newest art location is actually located in Montana. Just north of the Idaho border, in the isolated splendor of Southwest Montana\u2019s Centennial Valley,\u00a0<\/strong>the University of Utah’s College of Humanities has established The Environmental Humanities Education Center (EHEC). Its programs focus the lens of the arts and humanities on environmental study, enhancing and expanding education for the protection of wildlife and wild lands. After a succesfull summer full of workshops — including Terry Tempest William\u2019s Ecology of Residency masters course, Eco-spirituality with George Handley and Tom Goldsmith, Stephen Trimble\u2019s Tutored by the Land workshop, and the Re-imagining the Western Landscape symposium — the EHEC is hosting the first annual Centennial Valley Arts Celebration at the end of September.<\/p>\n

“The event is an invitation to visual artists, photographers, composers, and multi-disciplinary folks of all sorts to converge in Centennial Valley in the beauty of the fall season,” says Mary Tull, Director of the EHEC and local Salt Lake City artist. The EHEC campus is the lovingly restored former ghost town of Lakeview, the original stagecoach stop for 19th century travelers into Yellowstone. Camping and cabins are available to visitors, as well as a large conference room, dining hall (with first-rate vegetarian cuisine), laundry and fitness facilities. “Centennial Valley is also the location of the Red Rock Lakes Wildlife Refuge, home of the trumpeter Swan and over 260 species of birds,” says Tull.\u00a0<\/strong>“Viewing wildlife from bear to sand hill cranes – as well as the night sky – is a major activity.”<\/p>\n
