The exhibition Eagle Village: Sheila Nadimi consists of thirty-six 20 x 20 photographs, selected from hundreds of images by Nadimi with input from Intermountain Indian School alumni. The exhibit is showing at the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art through January 17th 2026.

Using a manual Hasselblad medium-format camera, multidisciplinary artist Sheila Nadimi first set out in 1996 to photograph what was left of the Intermountain Indian School. The campus was comprised of twenty-seven dormitory buildings, two school buildings, a gymnasium, and a maintenance building. Nadimi chose photography as a medium for this project to convey the overall sense, which the artist calls ‘mapping,’ of this architectural site, which she photographed until 2021—over a twenty-five-year period, following the demolition of the buildings and clearing of the land. Initially intrigued by the austere architecture, once inside, she found that the imprint of the former Native American students was still there, seen in artwork on the walls throughout the buildings.

The Brigham City Museum of Art and History invites painters of all levels to share their vision of Utah in the 2025 Plein Air Competition.

Plein Air competitions are community challenges for artists of all ages, backgrounds, skills, and experience levels to celebrate the beauty and wonder of Utah’s natural world. The spirit of plein air requires artists to paint their entries entirely “out in the open air” with only a very short time in which to paint, frame, and submit their entries.

The museum is open Tuesday-Friday, 10:00am-5:00pm, and Saturday 1:00pm-5:00pm.
