Transitions and Exciting Things!

So we have been fairly busy here while we are transitioning into a new support team of staff. First of all, I want to thank Allison profusely for all that she has done with and for our program. We could not have grown to what we are without you, and everyone misses her already! I (Katie) have taken over Allison's position, with a little trepidation. For a small woman, she's got very large shoes for me to fill. Also, a congratulations to Natasha, who will be taking over as the Program Assistant. In addition to all that change, we also have a brand new staff, Alizabeth. So much change, but I feel great about our new team, and we will strive to keep our little program at the same high standard that Allison set.

This month we had an article published about our program in the Utah Stories magazine! It has been very exciting for all of us to see pictures of our friends, and read all about our art center in a published work! Utah Stories is a free magazine that can be acquired at several locations around the valley, including several coffee shops, bars, and libraries in the down town area. We'd like to send out a big thank you to Paige Wiren for the well-written article, and Dung Hoang for the beautiful pictures included with it!

And there's even more cool things happening! The folks involved with the Excellence in the Community Concert Series saw our article, and reached out to us. They included the artwork of one of our artists, Lau,  in the program for a concert they had last night. They even included a blurb about our program and what we do! They plan to use some more of our individuals' artwork for future concert programs, and we could not be more grateful! Please try to make it to one of their concerts and support them- and did I mention the concerts are free? Head to their website to check out the stellar talent they'll be having at their upcoming concerts!

Last, but not least, our Gallery Stroll is tonight! Looking around at our walls, it is clear that everyone's artwork just keeps getting better and better! Come check us out tonight anytime between 6-9 PM. 511 W 200 S suite 160, and as always, use street parking as surrounding lots tow.
