Gallery Stroll showcases Sego Art Center
Event also features juried show and other art venues
It also features a juried show at the Utah County Art Gallery with the New Horizons Orchestra, whose musicians are all over 40.
Provo artist Jason Metcalf curates the show that features Valerie Atkisson, Ruel Brown, Brian Christensen, Jared Clark, Jeff Larsen, Jared Latimer, Hyunmee Lee, Ryan Neely and Chris Purdie.
An opening reception runs from 6-9 tonight during the stroll, where patrons are also invited to visit other art venues in downtown Provo.
The Sego Art Center's mission is to exhibit contemporary artists and provide workshops, lectures and other activities for the community, Metcalf said. A sculpture garden is also planned and studio space.
Atkisson is exhibiting "Hanging Family History," which maps her family history in rice paper triangles linked together by copper wires. Each represents stories and histories of her heritage.
Brown's exhibit includes street art, wall drawings, paintings and sculptures that show the relationship between comics and animation.
Christensen is exhibiting a sculpture, "Accusation," which combines a handgun with a pointing finger.
Lee's paintings combine spirituality and its multicultural manifestations, while Neely's painting "Untitled" was created specifically for the show. It is on unframed glass and leans against the gallery wall.
Purdie's "Atom" is a hanging sculpture with 18 vintage table lamps fastened around a steel structure as its nucleus.
The reception for the Utah County Art Gallery's Spring Fine Art Show begins at 6 p.m. at the gallery within the Health and Justice Building, 151 S. University Ave. The awards ceremony is at 7 p.m.
Brigham Young University's New Horizons Orchestra will provide music throughout most of the evening, Naomi White, president of the Utah County Art Gallery, said. The orchestra was established in 2003 for adults past 40 to begin studying a musical instrument or to pick up their instrument again. The oldest is 86.
Directors are Andrew H. Dabczynski, professor of music education at BYU; Gordon Childs, emeritus professor of music education and viola at the University of Wyoming and founder of the American Fork Symphony, and Stephen Fairbanks, a graduate student in conducting at BYU.
