Minerva's other side
Thirty-six paintings by beloved Rocky Mountain artist Minerva Teichert, recently gathered from public and private collections, are being exhibited at the Brigham City Museum-Gallery.

When • Through March 22

Run away with the circus
Artist Georges Rouault was drawn to the circus where he found that brilliant costumes and backdrops hid overwhelming sadness. The etchings, "Cirque de l'Étoile Filante (Circus of the Shooting Star)," strip away the spangles of the clown's costume and reveal the "reflection of paradise lost." The exhibition, on loan from the Syracuse University Art Galleries, includes color etchings and wood engravings. The show will be accompanied by an in-gallery puppet theater, a film series and art events for children.
When • Feb. 3-May 13
Where • Utah Museum of Fine Arts, University of Utah, Salt Lake City.
