What grounds us? What helps us grow? What stories from our past continue to shape who we are today?

In recognition of our nation’s 250th year, the Jordan River Arts Council presents Roots, an exhibition exploring history, heritage, and the experiences that define us. The works in this exhibition reflect personal, cultural, family, and environmental connections—examining how traditions, places, and pivotal moments influence identity and creativity.

From family legacies and cultural shifts to landscapes that leave a lasting imprint, Roots invites viewers to consider the many ways our backgrounds inform who we are and how we express ourselves. The exhibition features work across a wide range of artistic mediums, united by a shared exploration of origin, connection, and growth.
