“As a key component of our mission to facilitate student success, engaged learning is central to the education we provide at Utah Valley University. The books produced by the students in our fine arts program are some of the most tangible, meaningful, and impressive examples of this commitment to experiential opportunities that move students beyond the traditional lecture. The seriousness and passion of the students involved in the creation of this book are highly visible in the beauty of their product. Their achievement speaks clearly to the power of our mission.”
—Matthew S. Holland, UVU President (2009–18)
A few years ago, an academic experiment began a multi-disciplinary collaboration between faculty and students in the Department of Art & Design at Utah Valley University. Our end goal has been to create a fine art book that showcases the creativity, innovation, and ingenuity of our department. It is a carefully orchestrated performance for visual artists. Approximately one year is spent researching, traveling, creating, designing, and editing each project.
UVU Students are welcome to join the Art & Design book series through a variety of contributions:
Enroll in coursework
