EXHIBITIONS ON VIEW
Healing Waters: Restoring Our Relationship with Utah Lake
On view through September 27
This exhibition examines the region's connection with this vital body of water over time. Utah Lake offers incredible opportunities to connect with nature and recreate, as well as providing vital resources and ecological habitats. It is our center in Utah Valley: historically, ecologically, and physically. But decades of environmental degradation and impaired water quality have led to a bad reputation, a narrative still popular in our collective memory despite vast improvements from hundreds of restoration projects. The water is healing—now we turn to the community to help repair our local relationship with this inspiring place through art, conversation, and memory.
Crowded Spaces: Recent Paintings by John Sproul
On view through October 18
Inspired by interactions with family, friends, and people he encounters, John Sproul looks at how we share spaces and the feelings of fear, anxiety, self-doubt, loneliness, and resilience that may surface as a result.
Hearth and Home
On view through Summer 2025
Curated by Chelsea Clinger (UVU, Class of 2025), this exhibition examines the many ways we define and create home, from the walls that protect us to the people and moments that give them meaning.
