Diane Bronstein uses vintage photographs and embroidery floss to create landscapes that are taken back by nature. She embroiders massive vines, three dimensional invasive trees, crumbling rocks, and stormy skies to create a familiar and hostile. Bronstein's work highlights that nature will rule and continue to flourish with or without us.

You can see this work on display until August 28th.

NEW EXHIBITION - ANTHROPOCENE

This exhibition explores how artists interpret and engage with the land—its forms, histories, and transformations. Through photography, sculpture, installation, and moving image, the featured works reflect on ancestral agriculture and land practices, modern infrastructure, environmental change, displacement, and ecological systems, while considering personal, political, cultural, and spiritual relationships to place.

The term Anthropocene is used to describe a proposed geological epoch defined by the profound and lasting impact of human activity on the Earth’s systems. This exhibition considers the landscape not as a passive backdrop, but as an active record—shaped by use, intervention, and memory.

Across the exhibition, artists trace the visible and invisible forces that shape place: extraction and preservation, erosion and renewal, habitation and displacement. In Utah and throughout the American West, landscapes carry layered histories of settlement, labor, and stewardship that continue to inform how place is experienced, remembered, and understood.

ARTIST TALK

Presented in conjunction with Trent Alvey’s solo exhibition Absence is Presence: An Ecological Reckoning: Tar Seeps of the Great Salt Lake, this talk explores brief overview of the Great Salt Lake’s current conditions, along with an introduction to Saline Terminal Lake Ecology 101 to help attendees understand the unique systems that sustain it.

We’ll explore why the preservation of the lake is vital to surrounding neighborhoods, as well as, the entire Wasatch Front consisting of 250,000 residents and for our ability to continue to live here. The air we breathe, water we drink, snow we ski, economy we rely on and an irreplaceable ecosystem depend on a healthy Great Salt Lake. The session will highlight the work of Grow the Flow and offer practical ways for community members to stay informed, take action, and get involved in protecting this critical resource.

NEW EXHIBITION - SURVIVAL INSTINCTS Bianca Velasquez

Survival Instincts addresses nature’s brutality through six beadwork pieces displaying the parallels between selected bugs and the human condition. Starting with sketches, then precise bead mapping, each artwork is painstakingly built bead by bead, intended to mirror the raw tension between delicate craft and the carnal urge for survival. These bugs and insects’ visceral processes of reproduction and evolution hit hard against human stories of love, power, and control.

From the scorpion’s deadly mating ritual to the damselfly’s breakout flight, the show strips down the messy, violent, and beautiful side of survival. Influenced by feminist thought and power dynamics, these works expose how unconscious steps toward survival inform our deep and darker motivations.
By bead-mapping these concepts into aesthetically pleasing and glistening walls of beadwork, Survival Instincts proves that beauty and brutality aren’t opposites but two sides of the same coin.

Come see the show. Opening reception is May 22nd!
