The Long Walk Home is lined with familiar eyes glowing from the darkness. It’s where the spiraling years bring you around and around, meeting the same place over again in a body softened and weighed down by loves and pains. Along the way, the voices of your dead echo between your ears, and their ghostly reach aligns your feet with soft soil and moss. The Long Walk Home is where you meet your shadow. If you befriend it, it will unlatch the door. 

Opening Reception Sept 5th, 6-9pm

The title Unhistoric Acts is drawn from George Eliot’s Middlemarch (1871). The novel’s main character, Dorothea Brooke, is described as having an “incalculably diffusive” effect on the people around her. Her actions are “unhistoric” and largely unnoticed by the world, but they are still full of meaning.

In my paintings, I invite viewers to reflect on daily moments that are integral to life but rarely celebrated in the historic sense. Through gestural marks, I translate lived experience, reaching toward the everyday — those small, intimate spaces where I encounter the world. My primary subjects include the textures of domestic life, the interactions between family and friends, and the shifting light and landscapes that surround these environments.

Upstairs at Alma Gallery, artist Nathaniel Williams will present several of his most recent paintings. Nathaniel is something of a nomadic artist, viewing Utah’s cultural landscape from the outside in. This perspective shapes his work in a distinctly Hopperesque fashion—but rather than people, he specializes in “brooding portraits of houses, parking lots, gas stations, and anything else people don’t fastidiously maintain.”

Opening reception on May 2nd from 6-9pm

Opening reception will be April 4th from 6-9pm

Refreshments will be provided by Beehive Catering

Alma Gallery is excited to announce our next show, Part Shade by Maddison Colvin.

"I am reading the anonymous, handwritten journals of a young girl for whom all flowers and sunsets are "glorious", who delights in seagulls and electric lights, but who never writes down her own name."

These distant, lost memories are translated through Maddison's masterful technique in drawing.

Opening reception will be held on February 7 from 6-9pm Do not miss out! We hope you can join us.

Alma Gallery is pleased to announce our upcoming show, Rumination by Ryann Woods Ham. This emerging artist will debut her newest work at the gallery, with the opening reception scheduled for January 3 from 6 to 9 PM. We hope you can join us.
