Collector's Edition @ Rio Gallery (SLC: August 11 - September 22)

Collector's Edition
Rio Gallery
300 South 455 West
August 11 - September 22

Please join us for the Gallery Stroll Reception:
Friday, August 19, 6-9 PM

Most art exhibits are fashioned around the artists or the content of the works on display. This unique exhibit shifts the focus to the individuals who purchase original artworks and bring them into their homes and businesses. For these Utahns, art is not something they travel to visit, but something that breathes life, beauty and enrichment into their living and working spaces every day.

The individuals showcased in Collectors Edition are as diverse as the works shown. Owners of a few pieces are featured alongside those with extensive holdings. The common thread is the value that original art brings to the collector, and the hope that visitors will be inspired to start collections of their own.

Artwork by Randall Lake, Ella Peacock, Alvin Gittins, Ken Baxter, Cassandra Barney, Dough Braithwaite, George Dibble and many, many more. For a list of the participating collectors and other information, please follow this link:
