Body work: The Leonardo is accepting proposals for a large-scale temporary multimedia art installation planned in conjunction with September's "Body Worlds 3: The Original Exhibition of Real Human Bodies and The Story of the Heart." The selected artist will receive an exhibition fee of $5,000 and up to $1,000 in project assistance. Artists may send proposals for an installation planned for the 18-by-30-foot atrium/lobby. The Leonardo is especially interested in innovative and contemporary work. For information about how to submit work, call 801-230-9399 or visit www.theleonardo.org. Proposals are due by July 25. The Leonardo is at 210 E. 400 South, Suite 14, Salt Lake City.
New arrivals: Thomas Alder of Williams Gallery writes that he has just received "some very interesting historical paintings," including LeConte Stewart's 1940s "Christmas Eve" (out of season but "it's never too early to plan," Alder says) and "a lovely work of hay bundles" by John B. Fairbanks. Fairbanks' painting was likely created in 1890 in Paris, when The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sent him and other art missionaries to study at the Académie Julian, Alder writes. Beyond selling these historic works by Utah artists, the gallery is holding a 30 percent off sale beginning at noon Friday through July 2. Alder writes that more than 100 paintings will be marked down "to help compensate for the increase in gas prices." A noble gesture, indeed, at Williams Fine Art, 200 E. South Temple, Suite 100, Salt Lake City. For information, call 801-534-0331. And don't forget to carpool or ride your bike.
