Art for All: The Cedar City Art Exhibit, 1940-2008
The Cedar City Art Exhibit, running from 1940 to 2008, was an annual community art exhibition initiated by junior high school art teacher Eugene Jorgensen. Organized by the Cedar City Art Committee, it featured works by local, regional, and national artists, including Maynard Dixon, Eve Drewelowe, and Jimmie Jones. Each year, at least one artwork was purchased for the city, and students also saved money to buy art for their schools. The exhibition highlighted pieces now held by Southern Utah Museum of Art (SUMA) and the Iron County School District.
