2024-2025 Exhibition map

September 30, 2024

Early Saturday morning, September 28th, several artists aided by a crack installation crew placed 14 new sculpted art works along the downtown Moab ArTTrail. This 7th annual exhibition features compelling beauty from near and far, sculpted by award winning artists, and by locals exhibiting their work for the first time.

Installation day is one of heavy lifting, straps, and careful setting. It is also a day that celebrates the spirit of community, and its dynamic expressions of place.

Each installation day, public and the artists gather to view the exhibit, to introduce the works and their creators in the musically accompanied, artist led walk and talk, the ArtStroll. 

Best In Show this year goes to Logan, Utah artist Myles Howell for "Desert Winds", a sweeping curved marble work now seen in front of the Moonflower Market. Honorable mention was awarded to Tucson artist Steve Grater, for his patinaed steel "Matriarch".

Now installed in the heart of Moab for a year, the sculptures are available for sale to buyers, and up for consideration in the  public's permanent collection.

Thanks to ongoing private and public support, Moab ArTTrails continues to purchase at least one sculpture per year to be donated to the public collection.

Voting for the "Keeper" from the current exhibition is open until September 1st, 2025.

The Keeper

 Each year, a rotating volunteer selection committee, composed of local community members, merchants, artists and civic representatives convene, discuss and select a show out of a wide pool of submissions from a national call to artists.

Since its inception in 2015, Moab ArTTrails has added over $110,000 of art to the public sphere with thirteen sculptures acquired for the public permanent collection. The seventh 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, RAP tax funds, and the grace of a whole host of totally wonderful artists, foundations, private contributors, arts lovers, civil servants, builders and friends.
