Utah State art galleries are closed this week
By Ford Rasmussen
Utah State University art galleries remained closed due to a scheduling error when the campus reopened after the holiday weekend.
The Cain College of the Arts had on its calendars a photography exhibit to be on display Feb. 20 through 24. The gallery doors were supposed to be opened at 11 a.m. today, but they never were.
Staff assistant Becky Winstead, who coordinates the galleries, said it was “just a miscommunication.” The galleries are reserved far in advance, but Winstead never heard back from whoever made the reservation. There was no exhibit produced for this week.
Winstead said that the Projects Gallery was repainted after the previous exhibit was taken down. The galleries are usually fixed up between shows, but now there is extra time to clean up any remaining nail marks or scuffs on the walls.
Both the Projects Gallery and the Readymade Gallery will remain closed until Monday. Both galleries will reopen next week as scheduled displaying a senior exhibition by Janet Hancock entitled “All Sixes.”
