Set against the backdrop of the Taylorsville City Hall campus, the Mid-Valley Performing Arts Center has become a gathering place for both performance and visual art. The center opened in 2021 after years of planning and brings much-needed theater and rehearsal space to the middle and southwest parts […]
The title of Kellie Bornhoft’s Artist-in-Residence exhibition, Touchstone, begins by making an important distinction. So much of art today takes as its subject the natural world, but we tend to choose a narrow, selfish form of nature. We presume that nature is best, or even exclusively seen in […]
The Sears Art Museum’s current pairing of the work of Bruce Beasley and Albert Dicruttalo invites viewers to consider two accomplished contemporary sculptors and the dynamic relationship between mentor and protégé. Beasley, born in Los Angeles in 1939, has been a central figure in West Coast abstraction for […]
I had the opportunity to chat with Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company’s newest Artistic Director, Leslie Kraus, amidst her first concert, REVERBERATION. Leslie’s appointment as Artistic Director comes at a time when both founders of the organization have recently passed—Shirley Ririe this past August and Joan Woodbury in 2023. Leslie […]
< The first thing Meagan Evans did when she took the reins at the former St. George Art Museum this summer was change its name. “St. George Museum of Art” doesn’t alter the meaning , but “St. George MoA” rings a bit truer than “SGAM,” and a rebranding […]
Visual artists are not like musicians. A musician will practice making sounds every day. She may tell you that if she misses even one day, she can hear the difference; that after two days, her colleagues can hear it; and after three days, the audience will know it. […]
For most artists at Poor Yorick Studios, the semi-annual open studio event (see here) may be the only time they put their space in order—some tidying, sweeping, patching, maybe a coat of paint. But just days after welcoming the September crowds, Andrew Rice is once again cleaning up. […]
A scene: Two women walking through north Sugar House streets, pre-dawn, on cold winter mornings. Usual topics: the declining water levels of Great Salt Lake, what a lost flamingo and a seagull might have in common, the toxicity of lakebed dust, and how to write plays about all […]
Plan-B Theatre’s new play, “Just Add Water,” which opens this week in Salt Lake City (see here), is part of a dozen temporary installations by local, national, and international artists commissioned for Salt Lake City Arts Council’s Wake the Great Salt Lake initiative. The innovative public art project […]
If you’ve stopped by JKR Gallery in Provo over the past couple of years, you’ve likely met Savannah Liddicoat. As co-director and curator from October 2023 through June 2025, she helped shape the gallery’s exhibitions while developing her own distinctive artistic voice. Born in 1999 in Queensland, Australia, […]
You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I’ll rise. Maya Angelou’s flawless quatrain receives a response in Stacy Phillips’ Let’s Get Personal: Faces of Humanity, currently on view at Finch Lane. […]
Who is suffering? At some point in the life of a family assaulted by dementia in one of its many forms, this question may emerge in a rare moment of clarity. While the loss of mental acuity and the capacity to both recall and comprehend one’s own life […]
Fidalis Buehler’s paintings often appear deceptively simple: flat figures, awkward hands, distorted proportions and faces obscured by hoods or masks. He seems to be working in code, charging ordinary objects like couches, sneakers, or an inflatable swimming pool with a private mythology of stories half-remembered and half-inherited. Born […]
Brian Kershisnik is among the more generously talented artists presently on the Utah scene. Not only does he paint and make prints, but he writes songs that he then performs and records with a group of musicians. From there, he made the natural leap to poetry, which he […]
So well-ensconced is he in the corner of the D-wing, you might think Paul Vincent Bernard has always been there, that he was already resident when the cinder blocks were first stacked around him and the steel girders laid above him to form this warehouse on a dead-end […]
It was just over a year ago, in August of 2024, that Halee Roth debuted in a two-artist exhibition at her local venue, which happens to be the Bountiful Davis Art Center. Recalling those large abstractions, mixed media fields of flawlessly controlled color articulated in depth by map-like […]
Several Utah artists, including Edward Bateman and Trent Call, have used the Deseret Alphabet in their work, but none has done so as prolifically as the late Bob Moss. The exhibition in his honor at The Gallery at Library Square in Salt Lake City remembers the vision of […]
For more than a decade, Salt Lake City has been transformed with a colorful explosion of public art projects, street art and murals. (Don’t believe us? Check out our Art Lake City map). GREENbike would like to take that trend mobile with a new blend of art and […]
