Exhibition Website

Apr 29 2016 - Aug 20 2016

This exhibition celebrates the dynamic relationship between artists and National Park sites. For over a century, these iconic landscapes have inspired artists to create images that established the identities of the Parks in the minds of the public, captured history, and fueled endless artistic pursuit.

Capturing the Canyons: Artists in the National Parks is shown in conjunction with the centennial anniversary of the U.S. National Parks Service. The exhibition features artworks from a wide variety of artists focusing on National Parks in Utah and surrounding states: Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Zion, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and Yosemite.
