monthly Gallery Stroll the association has pro- duced street banners and wall' murals downtown Phantom Galleries and programs for youth Each gallery adds its flavor to the mix would take some fast tracking for a stroller to make it through all the galleries in a single evening For a more leisurely pace see the galleries in dusters Here is a sampling: This month starting at the Do- lores Chase Gallery 260 S 200 West one can view contemporary art in a sleek and elegant interior The Chase Gallery is featuring monotypes of Brigham Young University-educateartist Brian Kershisnik Kershisniks subjects animals and humans in a dream landscape more defined by spirit than matter his rich warm colors and playful shapes create an art that is highly original in its world view In a new location adjoining the Chase Gallery David Ericksons f- Jr-- if S'l-wT- 4V Pacific Islander art is on display Gallery 56 exhibits Utah landscape and figurative work by artists Randall Lake Dennis Smith and Lee Bennion among others In contrast with the more modern work of the Chase Gallery Gallery 56 also features the work of early Utah painters like John Ha-fe- n or JT Harwood revealing continuity in themes and techniques in the history of Utah art Two buildings to the north back 50 feet from the sidewalk the Left Bank Gallery is a alternative venue for artists seeking exposure An artist p the Left Banks space is a refurbished garage with concrete floors and tall ceilings It provides a neutral backdrop for the display of art that is sometimes fresh and original other times disturbing and challenging It is different from that exhibited either at the Chase Gallery or Gal 'll well-lighte- d d co-o- f at Art Access Gallery Steve GriffiaTbe lery 56 Each gallery encourages the viewer to consider art from a different vantage point and recommends other ways to measure the world At this point circle the block to the south and then the west to approach Artspace housed in the old Farmers Market

to hang on one more said Yeager from Orem day where his jazzballet company is based g The suite is set in an industrial blue-collworld and features the music of Peter Gabri- it provides an excellent underpinning for movement and and choreography Most of the music is from Gabriels album So one of its hit songs was Sledgehammer Yeager believes Sledgehammer will ultimately be the signature piece for
