Ogden Contemporary Arts presents an exhibit by artist Scout Invie entitled "No Place Like Home". The exhibit runs Thursday through Sunday each week May 2nd through July 13th.

Salt Lake City, UT — Loki Coffee will host an intimate and thought-provoking art exhibition by Dana Swapp, running from September 12th to September 14th. This collection invites visitors into the artist’s personal creative journey, exploring how the traditions, aesthetics, and philosophies of both Japanese and Russian cultures have intertwined to shape a unique way of seeing and thinking about the world.
Through gouache, the works reflect a dialogue between two distinct yet harmoniously blending cultural identities: the organized maximalism of Japan alongside the depth and resilience of Russia. Together, they form a visual narrative that invites contemplation, connection, and curiosity.
Her artistic journey has been profoundly influenced by her experiences abroad. Time spent in Japan and Russia sparked a passion for language and cultural research, leading her to explore idioms, semantics, and the nuanced ways societies express meaning. These studies have become a wellspring of inspiration, allowing her creative work to evolve with greater depth and cultural resonance.

This unique tour explores how the post-Manifesto period of LDS history—marked by the 1890 declaration by President Wilford Woodruff ending the Church's official practice of polygamy—continues to echo through Provo’s historic homes. Centered on the preserved dwellings of two devoted 19th-century polygamous wives, this tour uses architecture as a lens to examine the personal and cultural disruptions brought by sweeping religious change.

Though these two women never met and lived in Provo during different decades, the homes they inhabited offer rare insight into their lives. In addition to seeing the two residences where they lived, the tour will look at three additional historic homes to deepen our understanding of how the lives of polygamous wives changed over time. These structures are more than just buildings—they are testimonies to resilience, adaptation, and the hidden layers of Utah’s complex past.
