Gallery Stroll – April 2012
By

I’ve always believed art can be found anywhere, but after recently traveling America’s scenic by-ways, I was in awe of how much art, good and bad, was available at every truck stop, gas station, roadhouse and teepee stand. This experience made me keenly aware of the depth and breadth of art that Utah has to offer. … read more

By

Sunday’s second annual Franz Schubert concert presented a few of the later compositions of this romantic giant.

It takes a clever mind to sell something to the public that they can already get for free, and as much as many would like to deny him the credit, Kevin Smith is pretty damn clever. Rather than tour the country again, Smith set up a one-night live event from Toronto, where he recorded a podcast and a Q&A session broadcast live to movie theatres across America. … read more

Salt Lake City has a new Arts Hub. Normally, an “Arts Hub” earns its name over months or years, but if you’re Derek Dyer, Executive Director of the Utah Arts Alliance (UAA), and your programs serve over 50,000 people throughout the year, and you just acquired a 30,000  square foot building, I think you have the right to call it an “Arts Hub.” … read more

On January 21, the Steven Brown Dance Company presented The Sugar Show at the Rose Wagner Blackbox Theater. This was the latest in a series of annual exhibits of local talent. The show took the form of a competition between choreographers, each responding to the same prompt. This year’s prompt was ‘story and narrative,’ and the show featured five different dances meant to exemplify and explore that theme. … read more

Usually the title of a piece gives you some inclination of the artist’s intent, but Nelson-Carruth wants you to truly draw your own conclusion, so everything is left untitled, making you go “hmm.” … read more

I’ve tried to make my own Christmas gifts before, and I’d like to apologize to anyone who has ever received a lopsided crocheted cap or a batch of slightly burned cookies. After strolling through the amazing Craft Lake City booths, I was ashamed! If you’re like me, and can’t cut in a straight line, worry no more. My Holiday Boutique and Gallery Stroll Guide will have you looking like Susie Homemaker without ever having to pull out a hot glue gun. … read more
