Logan Artists Group (Logan, Utah)

On June 21, 1943, a group of professional artists in Logan, UT created the Logan Artists Group. By combining efforts the artists aimed to avoid public misconceptions concerning art, especially modern art. This joint effort also allowed the artists increased opportunities to exhibit their art at a variety of statewide venues. Starting with the eight charter members, the group offered memberships to other professional artists and art teachers. Additionally, honorary memberships were awarded to community members with an active interest in art.

Since a number of members were employed at the Art Department at the Utah State Agricultural College (now Utah State University), the topics discussed were quite diverse.
