Resonate by Doug Dianne Ryan Adams

Resonate

This monumental piece was created using a very large piece of Nevada slate ledge stone. It is a  large, resonant, tree-embellished bell. Dianne Adams recycled fused ice-cube glass and added round, ocean-tumbled granite stones from the San Juan Islands.

Art Around the Corner Gala a Smashing Success

Posted on by Art Around the Corner

Downtown and New Uptown Galleries Revealed

ST. GEORGE, UT – The 2019 Art Around the Corner (AAC) Foundation gala was a celebration of growth. Marking its 15th year in bringing fine arts to the heart of historic St. George, AAC gathered for the first time at the Hilton Garden Inn to honor the artists whose work will be on display throughout downtown for the next year.

This year’s gala was bigger and better than ever: For the first time, a silent auction featuring a dozen small sculptures offered an opportunity for guests to acquire a sculpture for their home or business. Additionally, the Art Around the Corner team expanded the 2019 Downtown gallery installation with an additional, “Uptown” gallery, inside and outside of St. George City Hall.

During the gala program, Mayor Jon Pike announced that the City would be purchasing the “Jules Vern II” sculpture by Richard Prazen, which had been featured in AAC’s 2018-2019 show. Mayor Pike added that Deveren Farley’s new “Power,” sculpture, a friendly snake made from license plates, would also become part of the City’s permanent collection. In all, a total of 37 new sculptures are now on display in this year’s show. Marc Mortensen, the City’s Director of Support Services, congratulated Art Around the Corner, saying, “We love the new pieces around town.” 

A highlight of the gala was the presentation by Alisha Burton, AAC board member, describing the most recent grade school tours. Each year, the Art Around the Corner board and volunteers host fourth-grade students from the district for a morning of arts education, offering short lectures on the “lost wax” process of creating bronze sculptures. This year more than 650 students and their teachers toured the outdoor sculpture gallery, and had the opportunity to experience the artwork first-hand. Burton shared some of their feedback including their insightful and sometimes humorous responses. “They loved the metal sculptures, and had many, many questions about that Giant Spider!” Burton reported.

This year’s show included many artists whose work is new to AAC, including Mike Dwyer of Loveland, CO. Dwyer created “Duck Parade,” an endearing bronze configuration of baby ducks following their parent on an adventure, that is sure to garner attention from children and adults alike. Said Dwyer, “It is a privilege and honor for me to have been extended a special invitation from the Art Around the Corner Foundation to partner together with ‘Duck Parade.’ This piece is very special to me, because my three sons assisted in naming the six ducklings. In order, they are Quacky, Waddles, Puddles, Chuckles and Doddles, and then Toddles is the little one trying to catch up at the end.”

As the Art Around the Corner Foundation celebrated its 15th anniversary, the board also honored the work of the next generation of 3D artists, presenting awards to three “Young Creators.” The Young Creators program provides a platform for emerging artists to receive exposure and gain confidence in their artistic abilities. This year’s winner was Lily Espitia, a sophomore at Pine View High School. Espitia’s piece was a contemporary representation of the strength, sacrifice, and love of a parent for her child. The other finalists included Ryan Adams from Malad, Idaho, and Lindsey Taysom, a Senior at Dixie High School.  Ryan is the son of Doug and Dianne Adams – both artists and long-time participants in Art Around the Corner exhibitions – and aptly embodies the “next generation of 3-D artists” concept. In developing her sculpture, “The Gift,” Lindsey expresses feelings of true gratitude, and hopes it will inspire others to be inspired as she has been.

Sculpture Revitalizes Downtown St. George, Utah

Posted on by Art Around the Corner

Amid red rocks and blue sage, an amazing transformation has been unfolding in southern Utah that highlights the power of visual art.  Today the city of St. George, Utah hosts one of the West’s most dynamic outdoor sculpture exhibits, known as Art Around the Corner. “It’s the shared vision that makes this work,” says Susan Jarvis, current Chair of the Art Around the Corner Foundation. “The outdoor show involves civic leaders, business owners, patrons, citizens, dedicated volunteers and of course artists, collaborating to uplift our community.”

St. George lies in the southwest corner of Utah, an area known for outdoor recreation and fantastic scenery, within easy driving distance to three national parks, Zion, Bryce and the Grand Canyon.   And now, thanks largely to Art Around the Corner (AAC), the city has a growing reputation for publicly-displayed sculpture and a bubbling art scene.

AAC’s first sculpture exhibit was held in 2004, and the show has steadily grown since.  Entries are jury-selected and each April around 20 pieces from well-known sculptors are chosen for installation, primarily along Main Street and in the historic Town Square.  

Larger works are mounted in the center of traffic circles while others line pedestrian areas.  By agreement with participating artists, sculptures remain in place throughout the year for everyone’s enjoyment. During those 12 months, businesses, institutions and individual collectors can purchase pieces.  Part of the proceeds are retained by AAC, a registered non-profit organization.

When an exhibit closes, buyers can move their chosen sculpture to an office building, home or selected location.  But many choose to keep it on permanent display in the downtown area, enabling St. George’s collection to grow to over 40 pieces.  “It’s been really effective,” says Shawn Guzman, City Attorney and member of the AAC board. “Essentially, we’ve created an open-air gallery that helps artists sell their work, and benefits sponsors and buyers, the city, and of course our residents.  It’s been a great catalyst in so many ways.”

City leaders have seen how public art improves the sense of community, instills a sense of pride and ownership, and raises property values as well as people’s spirits.  “It has clearly played a key role in revitalizing our historic downtown.” says St. George Mayor, John Pike. “Visitors and locals enjoy the growing collection, and we’ve created vibrant spaces around the pieces.  There’s also a definite ripple effect. Art Around the Corner fosters a frame of mind that I believe has had substantial positive effects in our local economy and civic life.”

City Councilwoman Bette Arial has similar sentiments. “You know, I love the sculptures in our downtown, but they’re much more than art for art’s sake.  We see real positive impact on the city’s economy. These artworks bring people, foot traffic and economic activity. It’s a material investment in our city.”

This year’s exhibit includes an engaging cross-section of works, representing various genres and artists from several states.  There’s a dramatic car-and-driver piece by internationally-known automotive sculptor Stan Wanlass, a life-sized George Washington by Gary Price, and a huge, imposing bison made from recycled metal by Tim Little.  There are entries from Colorado, Washington and Texas, though most are from Utah sculptors. Other artists on display are Doug Adams, Matt Clark, Chris Coleman, Karen Crain, Mont Crossland, Annette Everett, Deveren Farley, Dan Hill, Ben Hammond, Franz Johansen and his son Nate Johansen, Jack Morford, Scott Rogers, Patrick Sullivan, Dan Toone, Josh Toone, and L’Deane Trueblood.  

So, if you find yourself travelling between Salt Lake City and Las Vegas, pull into St. George and enjoy one of the region’s best outdoor sculpture exhibits.
