Park City photographer David Winegar has been selected for the Springville Museum of Art's Salon 102 exhibition for the third consecutive year. His featured piece, 'Balancing Act,' is a large-format black and white photograph that captures an ancient pine tree clinging to the edge of a cliff at sunrise near Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park.

Why it matters

The Spring Salon is one of Utah's longest-running juried art exhibitions, highlighting the diversity and quality of contemporary Utah art. Being selected for the show three years in a row is a significant achievement for Winegar, as photography makes up only about 5% of the selected entries.

The details

Winegar's 'Balancing Act' is a hand-processed chromogenic print rendered in toned black and white and presented in a glass-like acrylic frame with a hardwood backing. The photograph reflects themes central to Winegar's work, using local landscapes and wildlife as metaphors for life, exploring resilience, perseverance, and the passage of time.

  • The Spring Salon 102 exhibition opens on Saturday, April 25, 2026 with a reception from 7 to 9 p.m.
  • The exhibition will run through July 3, 2026.
