Are you willing to host an artist?

We will host many visiting artists in Heber Valley during Wasatch Plein Air Paradise, June 21-July 5.

If you have any extra space and would be willing to host an artist, please let us know at MidwayArtAssociation@gmail.com

Next Meeting - May 21, 6:00 pm  at the MAA Studio in Midway Town Hall. Kwani Povi Winder is a young artist with a passion for learning and creating. She graduated with a BFA in oil painting from BYU-Idaho in 2013 and has been painting ever since. She calls herself a stay-at-home artist as she is always creating with her daughters at her side.

Kwani’s paintings are characterized by deep emotions and vibrant colors. Her subject matters primarily include figures and landscapes. Her work is heavily influenced by being an enrolled member of the Santa Clara Pueblo Tewa Tribe. Kwani’s work often contains spiritual and reverent undertones as she uses art to further understand and deepen her relationship with her creator. She resides in Southeast Idaho with her husband and two daughters.

This meeting will be in person at the MAA Studio, and via Zoom - Click HERE to join the meeting on May 21st at 6:00 pm Utah time.
