Show Art Exhibit at North El. "Museum on the Road," a selection of Contemporary American Drawings from the Utah Museum of Fine Arts at the University of Utah is currently on exhibit at the North Elementary in Cedar City. The exhibit will hang at the North Elementary through January 18 and will be open to the public week days, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 7 p.m. The exhibit is being co-sponsored co-sponsored in Cedar City by the Cedar City Music Arts Committee Com-mittee and the Iron County PTA and is made possible through grants from the Utah Division of Fine Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. During the past several years the Museum has devoted much; attention to drawings and a substantial group of drawing by American artists has been acquired. The first criterion used in acquiring these drawings was quality followed by the desire to cover as wide a range of techniques, styles, and individual in-dividual artists as possible. The some 64 selections in the exhibity include a wide range including preparatory sketches for other works or finished works of art which are intended to stand on their own. It is pointed out that during the last 30 years the work produced by American artists has been dominated by no single style, ideology, or aesthetic. New modes of expression and preception have been sought out and creative output has been in a state of flux. The exhibit presents drawing by such elders as Isabel Bishop, Alexander Calder, Joseph Hirsch, and Raphael Soyer as well as such younger artists as Lucas Samaras, Robert Smithson, Frank Stella, and Jack Beal.
