Happenin in The Valley * Downtown Gallery Stroll {a day early}

Tonight!

Downtown Provo Gallery Stroll
Thu. July 3, 2008 6-11 pm

The month of July is special in that the first Friday falls on the 4th of July. As such, the Stroll will be moved back one night, to Thursday, July 3. Utah County Art Gallery will hold their opening reception Mon. July 7.

Debuting at the Sego Art Center is “Brandon Boulton,” a solo sculptural installation. An amorphous cloud like plume takes over the entire room and reconsiders the gallery space. Minimal in its themes, Boulton’s installation deals with time and space, material and environment.

The Utah County Art Gallery is pleased to announce their annual Children’s Freedom Art Show, a juried show featuring art by more than 100 local children. A special Awards ceremony will be held at 7 and 8pm, Monday, July 7.

Cassandra Barney spearheads a group show, “Night Music” at Mode Boutique featuring works by herself, her husband Dan, and another couple, Zack and Brenda Taylor. The group has envisioned a fresh new concept for this show, creating all new works dealing with dreams in different media.

Coal Umbrella will also have a new artist, Ike Bushman, presenting new paintings, with an opening reception from 6-11pm July 3rd.

Find of the Week * Hayley Parker

{H.P. Lovecraft - New York City}

These sweet shoes are hand painted by Hayley Parker of H.P.Lovecraft NYC. She just also happens to currently be a local in The Valley. She is quite the lady being featured in Elle & other magazines and having people such as Madonna sporting her shoes. If you are a lucky student at The Walden School in Provo -like my children-she also happens to be your art teacher! Wouldn't you have loved to have an art teacher as cool as Hayley! You can often see her around town at the Provo Downtown Gallery Stroll. She designs custom shoes so if you have something in mind send her an email. You can also purchase her shoes locally at Mode in Provo. I need to order a custom pair for myself for this summer. Maybe you should too.
