What Gaze? Black Representation in Midcentury Utah

Artists of Utah introduces See Local Salons with an exhibit of several art works depicting Black Americans in midcentury Utah. The works are part of a deep dive from our Before Now program that will look at the visual representation of and by Black Americans in midcentury Utah.  The public will have a chance to view the works, learn about their historical context and provide personal responses to the works. The event is free.

See Local Salons is a series of informal discussions among artists, curators, critics and the art-loving public exploring important issues in contemporary discourse. Visitors to What Gaze? will have a chance to sign up to be part of this series.

What Gaze? is held in conjunction with the semi-annual Poor Yorick Open Studios. During the event more than 40 Utah artists open their studios to the public. What Gaze? will be on view in the common area of the B wing of Poor Yorick Studios.
