Ogden, UT – May 2025 – The Eccles Art Center invites the community to experience two engaging and vibrant exhibitions on view throughout May 2025. The Main Gallery will feature the Plein Air Painters of Utah, while the Carriage House Gallery will host the charming and creative “Frame Your Pet” Competition.

The Plein Air Painters of Utah bring the beauty of the outdoors inside with a stunning display of artworks created on location across Utah. This group of accomplished artists captures the immediacy and light of the natural world, from rugged red rock canyons to serene mountain streams. The exhibit will include a variety of mediums and styles, united by the plein air tradition of painting in open air.

In the Carriage House Gallery, the “Frame Your Pet” Competition returns with delightful and heartfelt entries from artists of all ages. From dogs in bow ties to lounging lizards and feathery friends, this exhibition celebrates the pets who brighten our lives. 

A public reception for both exhibits will be held on Friday, May 2, 2025, from 5 to 8 p.m. as part of Ogden’s First Friday Art Stroll. Admission is free and open to the public.
