Department Chair and Painting & Drawing Professor V. Kim Martinez and Painting & Drawing Assistant Professor Xi Zhang show work in an upcoming Modern West group exhibition opening July 21st, with a reception from 6-8pm.

Modern West’s mission is to offer a variety of artistic perspectives, which in varied and compelling ways help create dialogue and reframe our understanding of the West. We are excited to announce 'The Modern West,' a show highlighting a curated group of artists whose practice embodies our mission. Each of these artists, all having lived in Utah, create works that speak to their identity and have influenced the next generation of creatives.
