Utah Plein Air Artists: Expanding Horizons

Presented by Gallery East at Gallery East

Utah plein air artists who have painted beyond their home state are featured in a new exhibit at Utah State University Eastern. The exhibit, “Utah Plein Air Artists: Expanding Horizons,” will be on view at USU Eastern’s Gallery East from January 9 - January 27, 2023.

In the travelling exhibit of 28 paintings, curator Shari Lyon explores what it looks like for some of Utah’s notable plein air artists to paint in places around the world.

Utah has long been a beautiful land, capturing the attention of plein air artists from all over the world. Landscape art, harnessing the unique images of Utah can be found on the walls of homes, galleries, offices and other buildings everywhere. Even though our Utah plein air artists need not travel far from home for inspiration, there is an importance in getting out of one's immediate environment to experience other cultures and views and to experience the reset and recharge of painting internationally.

“Utah Plein Air Artists: Expanding Horizons” highlights some of the best in Utah plein air artists, and explores what it looks like to get out of their familiar surroundings and experience the world through the eyes of an artist. The exhibit includes artworks by Margaret Blake, David Dibble, Kerri Hammond, David Koch, Shanna Kunz, Trijsten Leach, Trish Melander, Steve McGinty, Michelle Nixon, Ken Spencer, Kathryn Stedham, Tyler Swain, Bryan Taylor, Brian Thayne, Ellie Wilson, and Jane Anne Woodhead.

“Utah Plein Air Artists: Expanding Horizons” will be located at Gallery East in the Central Instruction Building (CIB) from January 9 – January 27, 2023.
