Curated in part by UVU Art History students, this exhibition showcases costumes from the Utah Opera collection that evoke and stylistically reimagine a selection of Sarah Bernhardt’s most iconic roles. Together, these pieces celebrate the illustrious artiste’s enduring influence on performance and design.
This exhibition features artwork which draws from childhood memories, ancestral traditions, cultural mythology and family histories to explore how storytelling shapes the way we understand ourselves, our communities, and the world around us.The art in this exhibit ranges from mixed media, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and textiles.
Artists include: Shonto Begay, Eunkang Koh, Lenka Konopasek, Pénélope Lenaerts, Angelica Raquel, and Wren Ross
Showcasing paintings by Greg and Tim Hildebrandt from the Museum’s permanent collection, this exhibition includes illustrations of The Lord of the Rings, The Phantom of the Opera, The Wizard of Oz, and many more. This show traces the stylistic elements found in these works to a greater art historical tradition, reframing familiar stories as contemporary works situated within a rich and ongoing continuum of artistic storytelling.
Discover a display inspired by the centuries-old art of shadow puppetry, created through the museum’s Art for All community art activity. These guest-made panels transform simple silhouettes into imaginative, layered stories, inviting you to interpret what is unfolding beyond the frame. Step into the experience by exploring each scene, and try the shadow puppet theater to bring your own story to life!
Curated by UVU students Ashley Savage and Becca Baertsch, this exhibition features non-objective work from the permanent collection, asking viewers to discover meaning through curiosity, careful observation, and reflection.
