More Minerva: The Nelda C. and H.J. Lutcher Stark Foundation donated 12 murals by iconic Utah artist Minerva Teichert to the Brigham Young University Museum of Art.
The Western-themed works were collected by Orange, Texas, native H.J. Lutcher Stark between 1954 and 1961 and have not been seen by the public for many years. They are currently on long-term loan to the BYU museum; five of them are on view in the museum's exhibition "Minerva Teichert: Pageants in Paint," which runs through May 26.
"We are thrilled to welcome these works into our collection," said museum director Campbell Gray. "The incredible generosity of the Stark Foundation has enabled us to strengthen our Teichert collection at a time when her work is becoming increasingly recognized in art historical circles and more popular among collectors."
The works will be given to the museum over a period of years.
Young artists: A new collection of children's art is on display in the Community Gallery in the Pioneer Precinct Building, 1040 W. 700 South, Salt Lake City. The exhibit will hang through mid-December.
The works are by youngsters 8-18 in Computer Clubhouse, an after-school program at the Sorenson Multi-Cultural Center. The program allows young people to use a variety of creative software for projects in the visual arts, video, robotics, 3-D animation, engineering, music and Web and graphic design.
The gallery is managed by the Salt Lake City Arts Council. For more information, contact the arts council at 801-596-5000 or Carole Costa at the Computer Clubhouse, 801-974-2420.
