SALT LAKE CITY — Utah
Arts & Museums announces the opening of the exhibition “We All Like Figgy
Pudding” at the Rio Gallery on December 7, 2012, and running until January 4,

in conjunction with the Salt Lake Gallery Stroll. Regular gallery hours are 8
a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Admission is free. The Rio Gallery is located
inside the historic Rio Grande Depot at 300 S. Rio Grande (455 West) in Salt Lake City.
Curated
by the Salt Lake Gallery Stroll, “We All Like Figgy Pudding” is a holiday
exhibition that “represents a variety of mediums and styles from contemporary
artists. Each piece evokes aspects of the holidays that are often overlooked in
the commercial flurry of the season,” said Kristina Robb, Executive Director of
the Salt Lake Gallery Stroll. “For many, the holidays are a complex and
disruptive time of year. Through this exhibit we invite the viewer to step away
from preconceived notions of what the holidays should be, to settle in and
enjoy the many unpredictable moments.”
Participating
artists include Court Bennett, Scott Buckner, Lindey Carter, Craig Cleveland, Carolyn
Coalson, Erin Coleman-Cruz, A. David Crown, Nel Ivanovich, Joe Ostraff, Hadley
Rampton, Derek Reeverts, Regina Stenberg and Gregory Stocks.
