Utah Tech University’s Sears Art Museum celebrates 25 years of Dixie Watercolor Society

Utah Tech University's Sears Art Museum is presenting "The 25th Anniversary Dixie Watercolor Society Exhibition," a juried art show and sale featuring over 150 original watercolor paintings by members of the Dixie Watercolor Society. The exhibition opens with a free public reception on November 21, 2025, and runs through January 9, 2026, with all works available for purchase to support the society's educational programs. A concurrent exhibition, "Highlights from the Sears Art Museum Collection: Watercolors from the West," will be on view in the Eccles Grand Foyer.

The exhibition marks a quarter-century of the Dixie Watercolor Society, which has grown from a small local group into a nonprofit with over 200 members, fostering watercolor painting and art education across Southern Utah. This milestone underscores the vitality of regional art communities and the role of university museums in supporting local artists, making the arts accessible to the public through free admission and community engagement.
