Evergreen Exhibition

Since its 1985 founding in the Millcreek neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Evergreen Framing Co. & Gallery, Inc. has endured not just as one of the valley's best frame shops, but also has doubled as a gallery with a philanthropic bent. Evergreen's current exhibition "Structure" collects work from 20 local artists with personal takes on the theme of structure. Buildings, homes and construction patterns come into play, but so do the unexpected. Artists include Alison Armstrong, Karrie Baldwin Penney, Ben Behunin, Don Prys and Sheryl Thornton. Partial proceeds will benefit Habitat for Humanity.

Images of the Abandoned

"Forgotten Places" is a collection of photographs that more or less captures all that the title implies: rooms, buildings and sometimes whole locations lost to time and memory. Bound by a common interest in architecture and long forgotten spaces, Utah photographers Ben Kuhns and Sam Scholes fired up the minivan to document a mine, lime plant, rail line and other places where no one has tread for years, perhaps even decades. The two sometimes risked their safety traversing abandoned structures in Delle, Draper, Goshen, Leamington, Logan and other places in Utah, California and Nevada. Their reward was 50 color photographs suffused in hypnotic light, desolate shadows and no small sensation of emotional unsettlement. Documenting forgotten buildings, after all, is a bit like summoning the dead. These photographs, on display at the Brigham City Museum-Gallery, promise a powerful trigger to anyone with an imagination for the past, and the people that inhabited it.

Stephanie, land and sea

You'd have every right to expect the exotic from an artist born in Spain, raised in Paris and Holland, then relocated to Salt Lake City in 1975. Stephanie Saint Thomas doesn't disappoint. Her arrival at large-scale acrylic landscapes, currently on display at Pioneer Theatre Company's Loge Gallery, included some detours along the way. In addition to creating a jewelry line for Saks Fifth Avenue, she designed mirrors and tables by commission. These acrylic works dwell on the sea, mixing images with figurative themes.

When » Through Oct. 10. Gallery hours are Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m. to noon.

Where » 300 South 1400 East, second level of the Simmons Pioneer Memorial Theatre, University of Utah
