Art from Abstract to Zion: Celebrating 10 Years of SUMA
Presented by Southern Utah Museum of Art at Southern Utah Museum of Art Cedar City, UT
In commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the opening of Southern Utah Museum of Art and the entire Beverley Taylor Sorenson Center for the Arts, the museum will present an exciting new exhibition that showcases our permanent collection. Treasures from the vault, including works that have never been publicly shown, will take center stage alongside gifts received and acquisitions made over the past decade. From Marc Chagall to Maynard Dixon, Japanese woodblock prints to contemporary photography, this exhibition celebrates the excellence and diversity of the artworks held by SUMA, as well as the key figures who have supported the growth of our collection. Beloved Utah artist Jimmie Jones, whose vision and generosity laid the foundation for what would become SUMA, will be honored with specially commissioned olfactory artworks designed by scent-artist Cathleen Faubert that activate some of Jimmie’s most iconic paintings. Reimagining the essential places Jimmie painted through smell, Faubert will create signature scent pieces connected to Cedar Mountain, the Grand Canyon, Rockville Mesa, and Zion National Park, designing an immersive, multisensory experience that celebrates the legacy of Jimmie and the landscapes of our region. SUMA’s summer programming will also recognize the founding of the Beverley Center and the 65th anniversary of Utah Shakespeare Festival in two special exhibitions and a series of special events. June 5–September 26, 2026 This calendar listing is brought to you by NowPlayingUtah.com, Utah's one-stop, online website for arts and entertainment events, powered by the Utah Cultural Alliance.

Inside: Conditions of Care by Samantha Killinen
Presented by St. George Museum of Art at St. George Museum of Art Saint George, UT
We are proud to present "Inside: Conditions of Care," featuring the work of Utah artist Samantha Killinen. Killinen is no stranger to the southern Utah art community. Her work was featured in the 2025 Statewide Annual, hosted at the Southern Utah Museum of Art — and it drew visitors from across the state to Cedar City. Her ability to connect with audiences, locally and beyond, speaks for itself. We are thrilled that her debut solo exhibition has found its home in St. George. This newest body of work grew from something personal: direct experience working inside the prison system. The works are soft in material and feeling — a deliberate choice for a subject that is usually anything but. This is not an exhibition about solutions. It is an examination of contradiction: what it looks like when compassion and control exist in the same space, when comfort and confinement are part of the same daily reality. Most of us will never see the inside of a correctional facility. These works open that door, not to shock, but to humanize. They sit with complicated identities, messy histories, and situations that don't have clean endings. Throughout the gallery, you will find words from incarcerated individuals who worked closely with the artist. We hope you will read them carefully, and carry them with you as you move through the space.

Between Symbols and Stories: A Mid-Career Retrospective by Megan Knobloch Geilman
Presented by St. George Museum of Art at St. George Museum of Art Saint George, UT
Megan Knobloch Geilman splits her time between Utah and Southern California — and St. George is the natural meeting point between her two worlds. We are honored to be hosting her first solo exhibition here at the St. George Museum of Art. Geilman's work has been celebrated across the state, shown at the Springville Museum of Art, the Church History Museum, and galleries throughout Utah, earning prestigious recognitions and a purchase award along the way. Her digital compositions draw from centuries of visual tradition: the scales of judgment, the mourning posture of a pietà, the veiled face of a queen. Geilman gathers these symbols and places them in new contexts, weaving in Egyptian funerary rites, Dutch Golden Age painting, Japanese kintsugi, and more — asking what familiar images carry, what they hide, and what they might still have left to say. Each work takes months, sometimes years, to complete. The stories she reaches for are specific: the history, doctrine, and social questions related to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. By placing these narratives alongside other visual and cultural traditions, meaning travels across time and heritage, each thread enriching the ones beside it. This exhibition is also a milestone — a first look back at a body of work still very much in progress, moving with patience and rigor. To move through it is to follow a conversation Geilman is always having with the history of art. Each label includes one of the many art historical references woven…
