Utah: State of the Arts

It is rare that such an ambitious and complex project as Utah, State of the Arts, is met with universal excitement and enthusiasm. The time is clearly ripe for this lavish, joyous celebration of the richness and diversity of the arts in Utah today! Every page of this handsome collector's volume overflows with the unique creativity and spirit of Utah arts. It is Utah today, flavored with the essence of its glorious past. Here is Utah's prodigious artistic heritage, a tradition of great creativity: From the earliest creations of the Native Americans to their vibrant contributions of today. From the joyful traditions of Mormon pioneers from all over the world to the rich artistic legacy of their latter-day descendants. Utah arts have been greatly stimulated as well by pioneers from many other ethnic traditions and by the contemporary influence of artists and artisans fleeing less desirable urban environments to freely live and create in Utah, State of the Arts.
