Featuring work by 44 artists from Utah Valley University's Art & Design faculty, this exhibition highlights the breadth of creative practice across disciplines and media. The exhibition offers a glimpse into the ideas, experimentation, and artistic excellence that inform both the faculty's professional work and their teaching.
Artists include: Shirin Abedinirad, Marissa Albrecht, Valerie Atkisson de Moura, Coco Berryessa, Rodney Bills, Jes Booth, Linnie Brown, Spencer Budd, Jonathan Bybee, Lee R Cowan, Amy Davis, J Amber Egbert, Reid Elem, Gareth Fry, Howard Fullmer, Jim Godfrey, Ada Goldfeld, Gary Hall, Brian Jensen, Andrew Kosorok, Jason Lanegan, Brenda Barrett Lovell, Travis Lovell, Kent Miles, Tyson Monson, Adam Munoa, Holly Nilesen, Jana Parkin, Jonathan Pitcher, John Rees, Jared Salmond, Kevin Schley, Aleksis Silva, Nancy Steele-Makasci, Perry Stewart, Lauren Stratton, Rodney Thompson, Christopher Thornock, Brandon Truscott, Terrel Van Leeuwen, Marcus Vincent, Sherry Ward, Patrick Wilkey, and Christopher Young.
Fidalis Buehler: Drifting brings together recent and new work in painting and sculpture, exploring themes of identity shaped by the artist’s Euro-American and Pacific Island heritage. Buehler’s practice draws on personal history and cultural convergence, weaving imagery that reflects tension, hybridity, and myth-making. The exhibition presents a body of work that navigates layered narratives of selfhood within the broader context of contemporary American experience.
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.
