Painted wire transforms black and white photography into colored images, which demonstrate many of the ways that water in the Bear River Heritage Area has been important to people in the last century.

This traveling exhibit from the Bear River Heritage Area accompanies H2O Today, a traveling Smithsonian exhibition touring Utah in partnership with Utah Humanities. The tour is part of Think Water Utah, a statewide collaboration and conversation on the critical topic of water presented by Utah Humanities and its partners.
