After you’re done strolling in the heat around the booths at Freedom Days, head inside the air-conditioned Historic Utah County Courthouse to check out some local art.

“It’s just an amazing event, if you’re a fine art lover or love to see how art is created,” said Rian Robison, chairman of the Freedom Festival’s Fine Art Show. It’s perfect for the whole family.

The event will showcase 22 of the area’s “very finest artists,” Robison said. There will be live demonstrations by Darin Ashby, a Best of State award winner. Last year during the Fine Art Show he worked on a valuable, commissioned piece. Other artists will be doing demonstrations as well.

The artists will have pieces for sale at the event, from originals to reproductions, he said.

“We’re just trying to help get fine art out there to the public, to see what contemporary fine artists are living today,” Robison said.

Some of the artists in the show are returning, but a lot of them are new to the event.

“Many of these artists are unbelievable,” he said. “These are masters.”

In addition to Ashby, the show will feature Al Rounds, an internationally acclaimed artist who’s working on commissions for the Rome LDS Temple, Howard Lyon, Dan Wilson, Annie Henrie Nader, Linda Curley Christensen, Robert A. Boyd, Jay Bryant Ward, Brent Borup, Cary Henrie, David Junghiem, Mandy Jane Williams, Joseph Brickey, Scott Jarvie, Justin Kunz, Simon Dewey, Rose Dall, Jeff Pugh, Sandra Rast, Sarah Samuelson, Kathleen B. Peterson and J. Kirk Richards.

The show, which is free, has been part of the Freedom Festival for the last five years, Robison said.

The show will open on Friday, July 1, with a special gallery stroll gala event from 6 to 9 p.m. Many of the artists will be there, and attendees can meet them and have things signed by them, Robison said. The show will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 2, and Monday, July 4.
