Upcoming Exhibitions

We Are All Migrants at Mary Elizabeth Dee Shaw Gallery

On display Jan. 23 - Apr. 3, 2026 at Shaw Gallery in the Kimball Arts Building (WSU Ogden Campus). 

Animals and humans have always migrated: for different climates, for opportunities, for safety, for love; for necessity and curiosity. Political borders and the laws governing political states are perpetually shifting. Our current concerns about im/migration are not new. The nuance of real lives and specific places gets erased in times of polemical rhetoric. This group exhibition brings together perspectives from artists who have dedicated their careers to educating viewers about the beauty and complexities of human migration. In the end, we are all just passing through different spaces on the same planet.
