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.
