Moab ArTTrails is pleased to announce 5th Annual Exhibition of outdoor sculptures along an art trail in central Moab.
On Saturday, September 24th, 2022, artists selected from a national call installed their work in the heart of Moab for a year. All works are up for consideration for the public's permanent collection.
This years' volunteer selection committee, composed of local community members, merchants, artists and civic representatives, convened August 13th and chose an exciting new group of sculptures from a competitive field of submissions.
Since its inception in 2015, Moab ArTTrails has added over $90,000 of art to the public sphere with eleven sculptures acquired for the public permanent collection. The fifth year of this program is produced with the kind support of the Moab Arts Council, the Moab Arts & Recreation Center, Grand County, the City of Moab, and the grace of a whole host of totally wonderful artists, foundations, private contributors, arts lovers, civil servants, builders and friends. If you are interested in more info, or participating in the program, Moab ArTTrails is excited to hear from you! Enjoy the exhibition!
