UTAH---Looking up in the pews during Sunday worship, or walking through a temple, synagogue or mosque, worshipers are frequently exposed to art that expresses a religious or spiritual point of view. Often, the religious art that gets the widest audience is intended to assist in theological instruction or proselytizing. But a different objective guides the art in the 31st annual “Spiritual & Religious Art of Utah” show at the Springville Museum of Art. Throughout the exhibit, religious conviction and testimony jumps out of the varied pieces, but spiritual questions are as present as answers. [link]
