𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: "Horizon Circling Ogden"

𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:
"Looking through glass windows on the bus provides a natural reflection and casts a shadow that changes throughout the day, which caused me to think of our natural places. And when I think of travel, I think of the horizon lines connecting that make up our journey. This piece highlights our glorious views that we enjoy from any location in Ogden. From Ben Lomond to Mountain Ogden and the Wasatch mountains that circle around our city this piece attempts to include them all. Ogden offers its transit patrons, traveling from point A to B, magnificent vistas that are represented/interpreted on this transit station.

My artwork interprets landscapes through elegant, bold, flowing lines. My creative thought process was to create a piece of art that is composed of a line that emboldens the mountains horizon lines, used colors, locally sourced pigments, representing the variety of colors you can see in Ogden throughout the season, and give patrons the opportunity to reflect on the area around them as they travel."

𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: "Where Dreams Happen"

𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:
"Thinking about making art to represent Weber State University at the Dee Events Center OGX hub, images of all kinds went through my mind. Weber has a long, rich history in Ogden, and the Dee has been home to sports and commencement exercises for decades. My hope was to somehow capture a fraction of the story of dreams happening here — over more than a century — in a few panes of glass.

Weber’s story has often been compared to being like the acorn becoming a mighty oak, and the repeating oak leaves and acorns motif remind us of that analogy. Leaves come and go, but our roots are deep and our branches expansive. WSU started as a small academy and has grown into a large university that attracts a diverse student population from around the world — another reason for the vibrant colors and layers. Ogden is a place that welcomes all. Its rich history of early inhabitants, notorious residents and adventure-seeking visitors charm the story-lover in us all. The world may know Weber best for nursing and basketball, but the community knows it is the jewel of this mountain-metro area. I hope that as the light shines through the glass panes, a little of that beautiful light lands on you and inspires you to make a dream happen."

𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: “Liminal Tranquility”

𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:
"I wanted to capture campus in its quiet moments of serenity. Weber State is blessed with a beautiful, scenic landscape. I wanted to soften the noise, the hustle and bustle that is typical college life, and show those moments of tranquility, while showcasing some of Weber’s most well-known features. I minimized my color palette to evoke a dreamlike state. Each side represents the soft moments of dawn and dusk, a liminal space. Those spaces that feel like we’re in a dream and existing between our physical world and what we can’t see or imagine. College is a big transition, a transformative space in which we are on the threshold to “what comes next” in life. Transportation operates in the same way, giving us time to ponder as we transit from one place to the next in our daily routines. I wanted the space to feel like somewhere soft and comforting, that we could relax in and consider our ponderings and daydreams."

𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: "Kaleidoscope"

𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:
"Our vision for this piece was one of diversity. Utah has very drastic contrasts in its nature and agriculture, depending on which part of the state you’re in. Even within specific locations such as Ogden, there is a wealth of nature which coexists, while also standing apart in unique and beautiful ways. Therefore, it was important for us to find ways of creating unique fields of color and foliage, which also integrate with, and compliment one another.

The human element in the piece is our way communicating our connection to, and coexistence with the natural world. Places are defined by their nature, and their communities, and we wanted to represent the beauty of that symbiosis."

𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: “Damme Sogope," which means "Our Land" in the Shoshoni language

𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:
"The narrative showcases a beautiful Shoshone woman dressed in traditional garments. Across from her is an elk, and culturally relevant elements such as the wild rose, rivers, mountains, sun, pinyon pine-cone, and traditional motifs serve to pay homage to the nation's first people. The color palette runs from warm to cool to represent the four seasons.

I have always been interested in ancestral knowledge. I enjoy speaking to elders and listening for the wisdom that arises from witnessing natural law long enough, so often different from information rooted in intellectual understanding alone. For this reason, when Weber County Heritage Foundation’s Dr. Katie Nelson presented the idea to create artwork surrounding the Shoshone history I jumped at the opportunity, both to honor the native people and gain insight into the Shoshone culture. It’s a storytelling project for me. I learned about different prominent figures and decided that I really wanted to use a young Shoshone woman to honor the feminine and the Shoshone’s vision of Earth as the Mother. With this in mind I reached out to Taylor Haskett, who was the 2017 Miss Shoshone-Bannock, exchanged my vision with her, and requested to use her image as part of the artwork. She was happy to work with me and together we found the perfect solution for this vision. She counseled me on the significance of the northwestern area to the Shoshone, and made me aware that various bands consider it to be their original ancestral territory. The thoughtful title of 'Our Home' is Taylor’s contribution and an ode to the land itself."

𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: “Roundtrip”

𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:
"This design is inspired by the people and students who use this means of collective transport. The figures, with glances that cross from one side of the avenue to the other, embody a daily moment that many people share and relate to.

The rhythm of the lines and the vibrant color patterns in the designs flowing through the image contrast with the colors of the landscape and the architectural style of the surrounding buildings."

𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: “Fields, Folds, and Fabric”

𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:
"The series is called 'Fields, Folds, and Fabric', 2022, it is an amalgam of digital work alongside pictures of tactile objects, collages, prints, fabric, pixels, landscapes and art deco elements exploring the ambiguous realms that we as a society are currently navigating. Anything latent has an infinite potential of becoming, within the field of the unfolding. The fabric of life is embodied through the sensations, the human experience synthesizes this emergent field, where the tangible and the virtual seek emotional connectivity. Outlines from the Ogden High school (1937) ArtDeco building, interior and exterior can be found in between the shapes and colors, skyline and horizon delineating the city and mountains. The colors are inspired by the works of Gio Ponti and De Chirico both major influences in the Art Deco movement that was born in Europe and arrived to the USA."

𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁: Priscila De Carvalho
𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: “Dreamscapes of the West”

𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:
By honoring the beauty of the west, the changing seasons, and the unique plants and flowers of Ogden, De Carvalho created "Dreamscapes of the West" to commemorate Bernard DeVoto, "Utah's most accomplished writer.” The artwork is inspired by Utah's natural beauty and DeVoto's eloquent writings advocating for the preservation of America West's grasslands, rangelands, forests, mountains, canyons, and deserts. The art pieces are divided into two-panel paintings, which will be installed on bus stops on 25th Street and Monroe Boulevard, the same street where Bernard Devoto grew up with his family. During his adolescence, DeVoto loved the mountains' serenity and proximity, and when Ogden was only around 16,000 people and the east bench was still years away from completion, he spent a lot of time hiking and climbing in the foothills east of town. As he once stated: “It is imperative to maintain portions of the wilderness untouched so that a tree will rot where it falls, a waterfall will pour its curve without generating electricity, a trumpeter swan may float on uncontaminated water - and moderns may at least see what their ancestors knew in their nerves and blood”. The piece is dedicated to Devoto's preservation efforts to protect natural habitats and conserve biodiversity.

Artist: Benjamin Zack
Art Piece Title: "Profiles of Jefferson"

Art Piece Vision:
"I am a photographer living in Ogden who focuses on telling stories through documentary images. Jefferson Avenue has been my home for years, and I believe it holds a special place in Ogden. It is one of the longest residential streets in the city and stretches through a wide mix of neighborhoods that reflect the cultural diversity of Ogden.

All of the portraits in this collection were taken along Jefferson Avenue in Ogden in 2022. There are photos of people in their own front yards and others who were on Jefferson to visit family or walk their dog. Some of the photos were taken near this station and some were on stretches of Jefferson that are miles away. They feature people who have lived on Jefferson all of their life, and others who just recently moved to Ogden. All of them are part of Jefferson Avenue."

Station: Washington Blvd
Artist: Ann Tarantino
Art Piece Title: "There You Are"

Art Piece Vision:
"There You Are is an invented map of the history of Ogden, layering familiar map like imagery–bodies of water, topographic lines, mountain ranges, and layers of sediment–with imagined data inspired by historical resources. Delicate lines suggest the footsteps of the Native peoples who first inhabited the site, the routes of immigrants who came to Ogden to work on the transcontinental railroad, or the movement through the landscape of the railroad itself. Using the familiar visual language of the map as a starting point, There You Are folds blocks of bold color, graphic shapes, and sinuous lines into a multi-layered landscape inclusive of multiple histories (and futures).. Its title is a riff on the adage, 'wherever you go, there you are,' inviting present-day visitors to feel connected to the site and aware of their place within it."

OGX is operational and there are only 5 more days until the Grand Xperience celebration!

Next station on the the count down tour is Kiesel Avenue.

Artist: Chuck Landvatter
Art Piece Title: "Fingerprints of a City"

Art Piece Vision:
"As someone who grew up in Salt Lake, I always knew Ogden as the cool little sibling up the road a bit. It has the most beautiful art deco buildings, real jazz and a solid underground music/counter culture scene, a wider racial, ethnic, and religious diversity, and always seems to be producing incredible visual artists. With this piece I want to underscore that ethos with both literal commemoration and evocative abstract imagery. The focal point - and I believe best distillation - of what I always saw as Ogden’s je nesais quoi - is the legendary saxophonist Joe McQueen. Other cultural elements included are a ballerina, a skater, Ogden High School, a historic train engine and a local train car with a well-known art piece painted on it. My hope with this artwork is that I can convey a little of that sense of 'cool' I’ve always associated with Ogden, Utah."

Title: "Arrival"
Artist: Cole Eisenhour

"My vision for this project was to capture the history of the railroad and its contribution to Ogden City. Primarily emphasizing its role in creating a transportation/cultural hub for the city. This railroad brought a conglomerate of individuals and lifestyles to Ogden, and I believe it was important to acknowledge that achievement. I wanted to underscore the primary elements and symbols related to this topic, illustrating the story of a railroad that helped transform Ogden. The piece embellishes the strength of transportation, calling attention to examples of its ability. Furthermore, it places a sharp focus on the labor force that built an industry. Tying together numerous forms of subject matter was vital in conveying key narratives that often are forgotten. In conclusion, I hope this piece speaks to the prominence of the railroad and what it contributed to Ogden City."

OGX Behind-the-Barrels: July 2023 Update

We’re about a month away from OGX going live! Roadwork is now substantially complete and crews are putting the finishing touches on the stations in preparation for an August 20th opening.

UTA has begun OGX bus testing and driver training. Please be advised that all OGX bus lanes are now active and buses should be expected at any time. With buses actively running, drivers should pay close attention, remain out of the dedicated BRT bus lanes, and should not follow buses into the lanes.

OGX will bring some changes to our local roadways, especially on Harrison Blvd., where dedicated bus lanes have been constructed between 31st and 37th streets. A raised concrete median has been constructed in this area as a safety feature, to restrict left-turns from crossing the high frequency bus lanes. Drivers can access businesses by making a U-turn at 32nd and 36th streets.

Drivers will notice red painted lanes near the new stations at 32nd and 36th streets. These lanes follow a weave pattern so buses can pick up passengers at the new OGX stations in the center of the road. Because the buses only board on the right side, they weave to the opposite side of the station to board and weave back to the dedicated bus lanes in the direction they are traveling. Pedestrian crosswalk signals are active at both intersections as well. Please use caution when crossing streets and watch for buses.
