Frontier Homestead State Park Museum announced a special exhibit by the Kolob Society in celebration of the National Park Service Centennial. An artist’s reception will be held on Saturday, May 7, from 1 to 3 p.m. Members of the Kolob Society will be painting on site throughout the day, providing an opportunity for the public to observe the creative process and interact with the artists.
The Kolob Society is an informal group of plein air painters who meet on Thursday afternoons and Sunday mornings to go out on paint on location. The Kolob Soceity was formed in June 2011 through Artisans Art Gallery and started out with just a few members but now numbers over 160 artists. All artists are welcome to join the society using any medium. Member artists represent all skill levels, from beginner to professional, who use a variety of media including oils, watercolor, pastels, pencil, and photography. After the paintings are completed, the group will meet to talk about them and offer critiques, suggestions, and encouragement.
