Salt Lake Art Show

Inspired by a changed world post-pandemic, exhibition executive Kevin O’Keefe, and his partner (and daughter) marketing executive Briana Dolan, both artists, wanted to create a new model of fine art fair that would be beneficial to artists, galleries, art collectors and buyers. Both had noted over the years that most major art shows in the US had a less than welcoming atmosphere and a high level of duplication in both galleries and artists shown.

The model conceived by the father-daughter duo would be elegant, fun, inclusive of a wide range of presented media, and welcoming to all. Buyers would be able to purchase works from an impressive selection of (1) galleries and studios from all over the world (2) the nation’s top sculptors, including those fabricating large-scale works for events like Burning Man (3) curated independent artists from the region and (4) top contemporary Native American artists and sculptors. 

To further delight collectors and buyers, film, music, dance and drama from the region and around the world would also be featured.
