Academic Resources for Teachers and Students (A.R.T.S.)

Educational programming is one of the three core values at the Kimball Art Center. The center, free and open to the public year-round, exhibits over 20 shows each year. With each Main Gallery exhibit, the center creates cross-curriculum programming for teachers to use in grades pre – K through 12. In addition to promoting creative learning for classrooms, the Kimball also offers art talks, lectures, special events and classes for the community.

Main Gallery

In her most recent body of work, Salt Lake Reconsidered, New York based photographer Diane Tuft recorded the results of ultraviolet light on the Great Salt Lake of Utah.

The photographs are completely natural with no alterations in color.
