Is 15 Bytes SLC-centric?
Back in November St. George artist Ronald Wilkinson posted a comment to our “Contact” page suggesting — rightly so — that our coverage in southern Utah is wanting. I posted a public reply explaining why it was difficult to get our writers from the Wasatch Front to cover […]
Dispatches from the Film Festival: Ain’t Them Bodies Saints

And You Just Won Ten Thousand Dollars!
What would you do with $10K? Rent a studio for a year? Create a new body of work? Hire a photographer to document all your art? Launch a website? Travel to all those openings your work is featured in but you’re too art-poor to attend? Utah Arts & […]
Shuttered, Shifting and Other Moves in Residency
If you went strolling in Salt Lake last night and instead of checking listings first decided to simply stop by a few of your favorite galleries you may have encountered a surprise or two. For instance, Patrick Moore Gallery in Sugar House was all shuttered up, and the […]
Ushio Shinohara in Park City and Salt Lake City

Amy Ringholz at Gallery MAR

Suzanne Conine, Glass Art Guild and other Friends
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 […]
