A handsome, 68-page catalog featuring artwork from the juried exhibition "Out of The Land: Utah Women" has just been published. About 76 of the 130 works shown in the statewide exhibition at Springville Museum of Art last fall have been reproduced in black and white or color. They demonstrate Utah women artists' di-ver-si-ty, sensitivity and sophistication.
Later this year, 30 selections from that exhibition will be sent to Washington, D.C., to be shown in the Gudelsky State Gallery at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.To find out more about the catalog, contact Kathryn C. Wilson, director of the Utah Women's Arts Project. She can be reached at 328-9848.
