ARTISTS OF UTAH FALL FUNDRAISER




Artists of Utah's 35 x 35 exhibition will feature 35 young Utah artists. The exhibition will be held December 20th until January 11th at the Artspace Forum Gallery.

For questions about the exhibition and to find out how you can help contact our exhibitions coordinator, Nance Thunell, at nthunell@connect2.com

35 x 35 is being sponsored by Artists of Utah in conjuction with Artspace Forum Gallery, who will run the exhibition and control all sales of artwork. Artists of Utah will be curating the show as part of a mentoring program designed to bring younger artists in contact with more established artists with the purpose of educating younger artists about strategies for success in the visual arts. In addition, we are excited to present to the public a number of younger artists who may not normally receive wide visibility. The exhibition is made possible in part by a grant from the Salt Lake City Arts Council.

To learn more about the exhibition, read our recent edition of 15 BYTES.
