Eccles Art Center

The November exhibits at the Eccles Art Center will feature the painting and bronze sculptures of David W. Jackson in the Main Gallery and creative collages and paintings by Steve Stones in the Carriage House Gallery with an opening reception for the artists during First Friday Art Stroll. Jackson is known throughout the Intermountain West for his diverse landscape and wildlife paintings, and Stones is an Ogden native and adjunct professor of art at Weber State University whose humorous, mixed-media pop art “deconstructs, appropriates, and dismantles pop-culture, mass media images and symbols … to change how the viewer normally views these symbols.”
