The Heber Valley nestled in the majestic Wasatch Mountains is home to several art functions during the summer months. One that has become quite well known is sponsored by the Midway Art Association and called the “Plein Air Paradise”. Hundreds of artists from around the Intermountain region arrive during a two week period in late June through the first week of July to paint the renowned scenery and compete for prizes. This is an event to come and watch and enjoy the fantastic art. There are two days of paint-outs in the cities of  Midway and Heber that draw crowds and an anxious group of artists waiting to see who wins the competition. Come join us!!

The Springville Spring Salon Annual Art Show in Utah is now exhibiting. It is one of the largest juried art show in the state and I recommend it for art lovers of all ages. The museum also has one of the most premier Russian Impressionists Collections that I am know of in the US.   Some very beautiful paintings.

This week I joined an on-line gallery of daily painters from Utah. It’s an amazing site and the creator of the site, artist Diane Whitehead is a phenomenal painter and person. She has sold over 5000 paintings on ebay alone and sells from 5 galleries and 2 on-line galleries. I have no idea where she finds the time.
Katrina Berg, a painter from Midway, Utah is also featured. She paints old homes in Utah with a very unique comtemporary look and has recieved numerous awards for her work. Please take the time to go to dailypaintersofutah.blogspot.com and view the art.

It was a great success at Soldier Hollow for the wasatch back artists. We hope to also be able to show our art during the month of Aug. at the same venue because the largest Sheep Dog Competition occurs at Soldier Hollow during the annual Labor Day Weekend celebrations in the Valley.
Locals have another opportunity to see our art. Starting Jan. 14, 2010 Katrina Berg and I will be exhibiting at the Patrick Lofts in Salt Lake City. We will also be on the Gallery Stroll for Jan. 2010, scheduled for Friday, Jan. 15. These are new lofts located in the Historic Patrick Dry Goods Building on 2nd South and 2nd West. We would love to have visitors come see our art.
We are also working on a site to show our art at the Sundance Film Festival. I will post an update of the location when we have received word.

The six artists that comprise the on-line gallery of wasatchbackartists.com are excited to announce we will be showing our art during the week of Jan. 01, 2010-Jan. 10, 2010 at the wonderful SOLDIER HOLLOW STATE PARK FACILITY in Midway, Utah. This beautiful facility was built for the 2002 Winter Olympics for the cross-country events. We would love to have visitors come see our art and enjoy the sleigh riding and skiing that is offered at the site. The art will be shown in the building housing the restaurant. It is worth the trip to the Heber Valley just to see the spectacular views of the valley covered in snow and the mist of season.
There will be a lot of paintings with themes of winter, snow, sleigh riding, skiing etc. at the show. Hope to see you there. Janice
