Over the years, this museum was one of the worst museums-- I had ever seen! It was dull and it had no public intrest whatsoever. I have been to many museums in my day and I'm very much active in the art scene.
One thing I'd like to point out is The Woodbury Art Museum lacked the vision necessary to even call itself a museum and it wasn't until recently that I can say, this museum has some credibility.
It's with special honor to be the first to post, that one young female gave this museum that innovative spark its longed for. Her work as a whole, changed this museum into something grand. In fact, I have adored watching it evolve into something credible in the art scene, since 2010.
One exhibit that has impacted parts of the Salt Lake art scene was the inspiring 2011 Hidden Voices exhibit, which this young female helped create with help from skilled youth graffiti artists from local Utah schools. If you missed this truly remarkable exhibit, there will be another showing in 2012!
This young female is Melissa Hempel, the curator/director of the UVU Woodbury Art Museum. She is a gem in the community and has put together a great staff.
Ms. Hempel and her staff have put together some very intriguing, innovative and qaulity exhibits as of late. Its safe to say, The Woodbury finally offers much insight into what a museum should be!
UVU should be proud of Ms. Hempel and her staffs accomplishments, because this museum now, is considered a treat for all art goers!
Whenever I'm in town, I like to stop by and enjoy the current exhibit. I am really excited and urge all people reading this to venture to The Woodbury Art Museum and check out the 2012 exhibit lineup. I am eager to see the next Hidden Voices show!
