The Center is establishing a paid residence program
at The Center's Wendover Exhibit Site, located in the desert town
of Wendover, Utah. The program, supported by a major grant awarded
to the CLUI by the National Endowment for the Arts, will enable
artists to live at the Wendover site, and produce work related
to the unique and inspiring geographic region, which includes
the Great Salt Lake and its desert and salt-flat environs.
The Center opened the Wendover Exhibit Hall to the
public in June, 1996, as a showcase for art and other forms of
research related to land use in the region. The current exhibit
"Around Wendover: An Examination of the Anthropic Landscape
Through Maps and Photographs" has been extended and updated
to run through the 1997 summer season.
During the course of the residency, participants
are asked to produce work that explores specific themes related
to the area, work which will then be exhibited at the Wendover
Exhibit Hall. Artists and other investigators interested in the
landscape of the Southwest who would like to apply for the residency
should write The Center for complete program and application information.
