Utah\u2019s newest and smallest gallery opened in Helper this past weekend. The size of a mailbox, the gallery is located on the west side Helper\u2019s Main Street.<\/h4>\n

The Helper Mini is the brain child of Kevin K. Perry<\/a>, a designer and artist who has been active in the Salt Lake City arts community for two decades. He has worked with Struck, the University of Utah, and AIGA, and co-founded Salt Lake Design Week and helped rebrand the Utah Arts Festival.<\/h4>\n

The gallery\u2019s inaugural exhibition featured the work of Salt Lake City artist Trent Call<\/a>. Viewed out of context, Call\u2019s works in the gallery appear like over-sized versions of what the artist displayed at Finch Lane Gallery<\/a> in October, 2023. But the cutouts measure only an inch or two high.<\/h4>\n

The Helper Mini joins several \u201cnormal\u201d size galleries in the former coal town, including Steven Lee Adams Fine Art & Framing, Helper Art Space and the Kilpatrick Art Garage. The town holds a Gallery Stroll the first Friday of every month. With the aim of connecting artists with the creative community in Helper, Perry plans on staging new exhibitions for each stroll.<\/h4>\n
