Lindsay Huss: “Fractured,” A Solo Show

Image supplied, Lindsay Huss

"Fractured," a debut solo show by Ogden artist Lindsay Huss, will be on exhibit at The Bonneville on Friday, Oct. 1, 2021, during the Art Stroll.

This Friday during the Ogden First Friday Art Stroll, The Bonneville workspace on Historic 25th Street hosts an incredible local artist who is highly involved in the Ogden community, Lindsay Huss. You’ve probably seen her murals all over town: Daily Rise, Roosters, the wall behind The Monarch on 25th & Adams … and more. “Fractured” is her debut solo show. She completed the new series of autobiographical artwork during the COVID-19 pandemic that “explores the idea of the many facets of human personalities. In many ways, we fracture our personalities, depending on the situation. We may present ourselves in the way we wish to be seen, instead of acting as our true selves. … Without studying ourselves and who we truly are, we remain fractured.” Huss has received multiple awards for her art: Indie Ogden’s Best Ogden Artist, Artist of the Year for Nurture the Creative Mind, the Ogden Mayor’s award for Visual Arts in 2019, and she is the face of the Ogden First Friday Art Stroll on the Visit Ogden website.

Friday, 6-9 p.m.; The Bonneville, 221 25th St.; free; lindsayhussart.com.
