Join us in celebrating DOVAD students Janika Linville and Mackenzy Gilmore and their upcoming two-person exhibition, "Echoes of Silver" in Park City!

Working alongside DOVAD faculty member Kellie Bornhoft, Janika and Mackenzy spent the summer conducting undergraduate research in collaboration with the Park City Museum, exploring the region’s rich silver mining history, geology, and stories of individual miners. Their research has evolved into an expansive exhibition featuring alternative photography, sculpture, and video installation that reimagines and responds to Park City's mining history.

Echoes of Silver

Artist discussion at 5:15 p.m.

Special thanks to the Office of Undergraduate Research, the Park City Museum, Friends of Ski Mining Mountain History, and those who supported this incredible opportunity for our students.

A look back at Curio Theatre, co-curated by María del Mar González-González and Cully Long, where visual art and live performance came together for a one-of-a-kind experience.

Guests selected original works of art to take home, then watched as performers brought those pieces to life through performances created in response to each work. The evening celebrated collaboration across disciplines, bringing together artists, performers, faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends from throughout the arts at Weber State.

We’re especially proud of the DOVAD community who helped make Curio Theatre possible, including María del Mar González-González and artists Art Morrill, Kellie Bornhoft, Ian Burnley, Alejandro Moya, Ben Evjen, Janika Linville, and Margot Shepherd.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and to all of the artists and performers who made each encounter unique!

What happens when you choose a work of art—and then get to see it come alive?
At Curio Theatre, your ticket lets you choose two original artworks to take home, each paired with a live performance created in response to the piece you selected. One night, two artworks, two performances—and no two encounters are the same.

We’re excited to give a shoutout to the DOVAD faculty, students, and alumni helping bring this interdisciplinary project to life! 🎨🎭 Featured contributors include María del Mar González-González, Art Morrill, Kellie Bornhoft, Ian Burnley, Alejandro Moya, Ben Evjen, Margot Shepherd, and Janika Linville.

This collaborative project brings together artists and performers from across visual art, theatre, dance, and music to create an experience where every audience member encounters something different.
