’Colors of Pride'
It’s the last weekend to see the Eccles Art Center’s second annual Pride month celebration featuring the “Colors of Pride,” which opened during the June First Friday Art Stroll, where the winners were announced. The competition was open to all artists residing in Utah, with original works in any medium. The “Colors of Pride” exhibit is on display through Saturday, and guests may donate to the Eccles Art Center’s “Show Us Your Pride” fundraiser for Ogden Pride OUTreach and Encircle.
Now through Saturday; Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Eccles Art Center, 2580 Jefferson Ave.; free; ogden4arts.org.
’Social Undistance’ + Live Music Performances
Two more live performances remain as part of the new art installation at Ogden Contemporary Arts. “Social Undistance” is an interdisciplinary exhibition and contemporary dance experience, in collaboration with Ogden MoveMeant Collective and Cam McLeod, that explores how shared isolation and limited physical connection impacts the human experience. McLeod, who developed the overarching concept for the installation, says it’s “a visual representation of what it felt like to be thrust into extreme lockdown and isolation from human interaction, and what that restricted movement does to the human psyche.” The free exhibit is open now through July 25, with special live ticketed performances on Friday and Saturday.
Live performances Friday and Saturday 7 p.m.; $30; regular exhibit now through July 25; Wednesday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sundays, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Ogden Contemporary Arts Center, 455 25th St.; free; ogdencontemporaryarts.org.
25th & Ogden Beer Garden + Indoor Market
Live music at The Monarch’s beer garden every Saturday, on the corner of 25th & Ogden Avenue, is a cool, pet-friendly escape with shade, misters and ice cold local brews — just east of the farmers market — making this little market a lovely spot to land on a care-free Saturday afternoon. This week, two local female musicians, Che Zuro and The Ivie League, will play from 11 a.m. to 2:30 on the patio. An indoor market, inside the Atrium, features hand-selected vendors with goodies for the weekend. There’s something new to experience at the “party on the patio” every Saturday.
Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; The Monarch, 455 25th St.; free; themonarchogden.com/gourmet-market.
