Montello Foundation is a foundation dedicated to support artists who foster
our understanding of nature, its fragility and our need to protect it.

“The desert, to those who do listen, is more likely to provoke awe than to invite conquest.” 
- Joseph Wood Krutch

 This Earth 

 Notes and Observations by Montello Foundation Artists 

Southern Utah Museum of Art in Cedar City, Utah 

The exhibition will be on view October 16th to December 23rd.

This Earth is an exhibition curated by Hikmet Loe and Stefan Hagen at Southern Utah Museum of Art under the direction of Jessica Kinsey in Cedar City, UT.

The audience experiences nature from artists’ perspectives. While we are presenting finished work of 37 artists who have been artists-in-residence at the Montello Foundation retreat., it is the processes of the artists that are the focus of the exhibition. The guiding principals of the show are the artists’ various approaches and personal relationships to nature. Documentary photography will be shown alongside abstract paintings, alongside intimate drawings, and also large-scale sculpture.
