Community Calendar

Beginning May 7th and running through August 2nd, there will be many new transparent watercolor paintings on display at Gallery 35 located at 35 N. Main St., St. George, UT. All art is created locally by members of the Dixie Watercolor Society and is framed and available for sale. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 10AM to 5PM. Hope to see you there!

This session runs from 8:30am-4:30pm, Monday-Thursday. No camp on Friday.

Journey back in time as we explore Earth's most extreme environments—from ice age events to vast deserts, ancient seaways, and tropical rainforests. Campers will discover how life adapted to these changing environments, from giant bugs with wingspans the size of birds, to animals with specialized fur and evolutionary shells that helped them survive. Through hands-on activities, exciting experiments, and visits to NHMU’s new Ice Age exhibit, we'll uncover the secrets of ancient ecosystems and how they shaped the world we live in today. Get ready for an adventure that spans millions of years—where you'll discover, explore, and evolve just like Earth’s ancient creatures!

San Francisco was the center of bohemian culture in California in the late 1930s and 1940s. It was a golden era for art making and the blossoming of Bay Area art due to a confluence of factors, one being the activities of the San Francisco Art Association (SFAA), a group of art enthusiasts and artists who nurtured the growth of a museum and art school (the California School of Fine Arts) and organized yearly annual exhibitions that stimulated and propelled progressive art of the time.  

The exhibition, San Francisco the Golden Years 1930-1960: Making a Scene, is drawn exclusively from the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art collection. NEHMA’s collection, with its focus on the art of the western United States, is ideally suited to provide in-depth examples of art from this little-known period in art history. This is the first major exhibition and publication to look at the pivotal and colorful history of the SFAA.  

Co-curated by art historian Michael Duncan and NEHMA curator Bolton Colburn 

Campers ages 6-12 will explore art, science, and Utah history through artworks on view at NEHMA. Each day will be filled with games, activities, and creative art projects.

Session 2: June 23-26, 9:00 am – 3:00 pm , $197

Ice has sculpted our planet for millennia, shaping the landscapes we see today and connecting distant continents, paving the way for migration. Opening on June 7 at NHMU, Mysteries of the Ice Ages invites visitors to explore 80,000 years of Earth’s dramatic history, uncovering the mysteries of ice and the remarkable adaptations that allowed life to survive in an unforgiving world. Featuring more than 120 specimens, incredible artifacts, and informative interactives, the exhibition brings to life a time when massive glaciers ruled the land and ancient creatures roamed wild.

Exhibit Highlights:
Encounter iconic Ice Age creatures like muskoxen, caribou, wolves, woolly mammoths, and cave bears.

Step into the world of the Neanderthals and discover how they adapted to life in the freezing cold.

Explore the ancient Beringia land bridge that once connected Asia to North America.

Learn how the dramatic landforms we recognize today were carved by ice sheets during the last glaciation.

View real tools and artifacts—thousands of years old—crafted by the Tuniit (Dorset) and Thule-Inuit peoples.
