UTAH COUNTY
Springville Museum of Art UP: Select works of art from students of the Bridge Academy of Art in Provo, which recently celebrated its one year anniversary.|0| The founders began the Academy as an experimental institution that proposes to endorse the "Classical Tradition without excluding the insight and advancements of the Modern Art movement." (see October 2008 edition). AND: Open Secret, an exhibit of “undisclosed works” by Alex Bigney and Kent Wing.|1| The paintings ask the viewer to look again, do a re-take, a double-take. As described by artist and critic Frank McEntire this "look again" exercise is somewhat prurient in nature, like eavesdropping. It is what we all do to hone in on a secret, to discover hidden knowledge, to probe a mystery (see July 2007 edition). AND: Hudson River Revival: Contemporary Landscape Painting, the first exhibition of a group of artists that are breathing new life into the old traditions of the Hudson River School (see page 7). AND: UVU Art Faculty Show. AND: Pastels by Anne Weber, 22 pastel works by Utah artist Anne Weber.|2| AND: All through October 16.

Woodbury Art Museum UP: Shaolin: Temple of Zen. Justin Guariglia's astonishing, empathetic record of the Shaolin Temple art forms and the individuals who consider themselves the keepers of these traditions. Through October 9.

Brigham Young University Museum of Art UP: Paintings from the Reign of Victoria: The Royal Holloway Collection, London, showcasing 60 extraordinary paintings illustrating some of the highest achievements in figurative and landscape art of the nineteenth century (see September edition). Through October 25. AND: Types and Shadows: Intimations of Divinity encourages viewers to participate in the process of seeking out and finding meaning in the symbols, metaphors and veiled visual references that “point to” the divine mission of Jesus Christ. The 44 works in this exhibition, which include paintings, prints and sculpture, have been selected to guide the viewer through a process of seeing beyond obvious and familiar narratives.|3| Through March 13.

BYU Harold B. Lee Library Exhibits UP: Ansel Adams and Dorothea Lange's Three Mormon Towns Rephotographed by Mark Hedengren. Utah photographer Mark Hedengren re-shoots a LIFE magazine photo essay from 1954 that ended the friendship between Ansel Adams and Dorothea Lange. HBLL Gallery, Level 1, through October 28.

Covey Center for the Arts UP: Hard Times: Inspiration, Beauty, and the Art of Making Do featuring textile works by members of the Utah Surface Design Group (USDG). Facing a national recession, job losses and dwindling saving accounts, the members of the USDG challenged one another to be creative in new ways, despite the hard times. They opened their closets and storage to share fabric, paint, dye, thread, ribbon, buttons and beads. The group agreed to recycle, remix and to use only those materials available through barter and trade. Surface design encompasses the coloring, patterning and structuring of fiber and fabric. This involves creative exploration of processes such as dying, painting, printing, stitching, embellishing, quilting, weaving, knitting, felting, and paper making.|4| Through October 30.

Terra Nova UP: 3rd Annual Plein Air Provo, an exhibition of works completed during the September 30 - October 2 event. Through October 30.

South Hall Gallery UP: Works of art based upon human emotions by thirteen students from the Museum and Gallery Practices class at SUU. Students taught by Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery Director, Reece Summers, were asked to research an artist whose work related to color field painting, characterized by a large field of flat, solid color, creating areas of unbroken surface. Based upon their research, students were to create a piece of artwork to evoke a particular emotion from the viewer. Through October 13.

Opening Reception: Friday, October 9 from 6-8pm.

PRICE
The College of Eastern Utah's Gallery East UP: Passing Through, photographs by Price native and CEU alumnus Richard Menzies.|6| Richard Menzies has logged a quarter million miles on his vintage Volkswagen bus in pursuit of pictures and unusual stories.
