SEARS INVITATIONAL
ART SHOW & SALE

ART BY: ARACELI SELYTIN

Every year on President's Day weekend, Utah Tech University and the Sears Art Museum hosts it's prestigious Robert N. and Peggy Sears Invitational Art Show & Sale. We proudly showcase over 100 artists from all over the West and more than 200 traditional, contemporary, and sculptural pieces of artwork.
​
The art show was founded by Robert N. Sears, 1915-1995. Sears, a retired vice president of Phillips Petroleum, worked tirelessly to establish a quality art invitational at the University which has become one of the most popular, well-attended exhibits in the state of Utah.
