WHY:

This Spring the Utah Cultural Celebration Center is highlighting the art and artifacts of Vietnam. Bring the family and enjoy colorful embroideries of the Vietnamese landscape, traditional clothing, exquisite lacquer panels with pearl inlay, pottery and paintings, sculpture and jade. There is something for everyone in this exhibition, a truly remarkable collection featuring over 100 items from the Valley´s Vietnamese community.

Complementing the community exhibit is What I Could Not See, a series of photographs taken by John Steele. A veteran of the Vietnam War, John´s photos feature the Vietnamese people he has met on his subsequent three visits to Vietnam. His expertly shot photographs reveal a keen eye and are moving, capturing the emotion of both the subject and the photographer.
