“Go Out & Play!” hosted by the Dixie State University Sears Art Museum Gallery, will feature works from local as well as nationally recognized artists. The exhibit opens in DSU’s Dolores Dore Eccles Fine Arts Center on Friday, Sept. 9, and will remain open Mondays–Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Nov. 11. The exhibit is free and open to the public. An artist reception will be held Sept. 16 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Eccles Grand Foyer.
“I feel it necessary to nurture a playfulness and to be unpretentious and embrace painting as a wonderful, virtuous endeavor,” said local artist Reece Thompson whose work is in the exhibit and who will be featured at the corresponding artist reception.
Alongside Thompson’s art is work from DSU faculty member McGarren Flack. Dan Whalen’s expansive collection of Star Wars figures, 10-year-old Hurricane artist Jodi Fuller’s paintings, and Karen March’s watercolors will also be exhibited. Other well-known artists from across Utah included in the exhibit are Dan Lewis, Fiona Phillips, Julie Rogers and Kirk Parkinson.
“Expect some surprises!” said DSU art curator Kathy Cieslewicz. “In addition to the beautiful visuals, visitors can expect to engage in a game of chess, Scrabble, or hopscotch. The exhibit focuses on reigniting the viewers’ own childhood through interaction and reminiscing.”
