SUU's Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery
Adds the SUMA Gift Shop
Southern Utah University, Cedar City, Utah: Reece Summers, Director of SUU’s Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery, is pleased to announce the addition of the SUMA Gift Shop to the gallery. A gift portion of all gift shop sales will benefit the future Southern Utah Museum of Art (SUMA) on campus. The gift shop, located across the hall from the gallery on the lower level of SUU’s Braithwaite Liberal Arts Building, was opened to coincide with the Southern Utah Art Invitational: Summer Exhibit and Sale & The Costume Designers' Art: 50 Years at the Utah Shakespeare Festival exhibitions on June 17, 2011. The gallery shop hours will be the same as the gallery, Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the summer and Tuesday-Saturday, noon to 7 p.m. starting in September.
The gift shop will feature limited edition Jim Jones giclée prints, the 2009 Jim Jones exhibition posters, Jim Jones catalogue with DVD and stationary cards. Jones was renowned for his vivid depictions of the southern Utah landscape, and this is an incredible opportunity to own one of Jones’ astonishing works. The State Bank of Southern Utah (SBSU) has generously partnered with Southern Utah University in a reproduction agreement of Jim Jones paintings within SBSU’s permanent collection. Each of these paintings will be reproduced in 50 limited edition giclée prints. Other prints from Jones' final suite of paintings which are part of the SUU permanent collection are also available. The limited edition Jim Jones giclées are available exclusively through the Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery and make a perfect gift or addition to any collection.
In addition, there will be limited edition signed and numbered Roland Lee prints available at SUMA Gift Shop. Roland Lee has become nationally known for his transparent watercolors of the southwest landscape, the pioneer west, and rural European scenes.
