Logan Fine Art Gallery to hold annual salon

In a world full of art, some of the best up and coming artists may be right here in Cache Valley.

In a juried event, the Logan Fine Art Gallery will hold its annual fall salon exhibition Friday.

Doors open to the public at 6 p.m. and awards will be announced an hour later.

Artist Larry Winborg will judge the event, and pick the top artist who will receive a $1,500 reward.

The showcased art will then be available to view and purchase from Friday through Jan. 3.

"When the right person comes in and finds the right piece of art, it gets sold," said Julie Lefevre, an art coordinator and featured artist for the gallery. "We picked Larry this year to judge, because he's a master of art. He's put in his hours to be able to critique effectively."

Lefevre also said she believes Winborg is an appropriate choice to critique this year's salon due to his ability to judge art at a critical level.

"Larry can look at a piece of art for a second, and immediately know that there's a skewed brush stroke, or something else out of the ordinary," Lefevre said. "He's told me a number of times that 'The real world of art isn't kind,' so these salons act as a real proving ground to artists that want to make it big."

Dick Broun, a featured artist and photographer at the gallery, said gallery viewing is a unique experience "because human interaction is its only audience."
