A wonderful little gallery that also offers classes and studio space throughout the week. The works on display during my visit while thematically connected were also quite unique and varied, I enjoyed the variety the Center had to offer. The staff is also very friendly, helpful, and informative (shoutout Bev) Highly recommend!
The oil painting class we did here was excellent. Instructor was very good. We had a graet time.
We thoroughly enjoyed the exhibit “Gaze into these eyes” at the Kimball Art Center. The docent was so welcoming and informative. The exhibit itself was well curated, thought provoking and inspiring. Looking forward to future exhibits. Thank you for making this experience accessible!
This review is for an oil painting class. Unfortunately, my experience was not a good one and I’m rating it 3 stars due to the instructor, who had never taught before and was very unprepared. IMO, Kimball should have one of their staff sitting in or asking the teacher to give them a class as an “audition” of sorts. My perspective is this is more guided painting than true instruction. I gave the education department feedback on the class before writing this review in hopes they would respond with something more than an invite to complete a survey. I’m not looking for a refund but the $275 was a complete waste of money not to mention my time. Perhaps recognizing that I was not the only dissatisfied student and offering a small discount and invite to take another class would be a welcome offer. Because of this experience, I would not take another class at Kimball. I’ve heard there are a couple of great studios in SLC though.
Visited the Traces ceramics exhibit 4/29, and found the work very memorable. I appreciated the selective approach to presenting the pieces, which gives space and time to "go deep" with each artist. Kimball staff were very knowledgeable and welcoming. The art education programs and working studios bring a unique energy to the galleries. I look forward to my next visit!
