The highly anticipated 1,3,5 Fine Art Show will open its doors on Saturday, June 14, for just three hours. Presented by the Utah Art Market, this event will showcase original works of art created by some of the most talented artists in Utah. The Cottonwood Country Club will provide an inviting atmosphere for patrons to come together to appreciate and acquire original works of art within reach of most spending plans.

The event offers a tiered pricing structure to provide the opportunity to find a piece of art that resonates with an individual’s personal style and budget while ensuring access to quality original art selections. Art pieces will be categorized into three main price points: $100, $300, and $500. Fine art will also be available for collectors or individuals looking for an exclusive original work by a renowned local artist to serve as a striking focal point in the home or office, with pieces ranging from $500 to several thousand.  

The event attracts over 500 art enthusiasts and collectors across the Salt Lake valley each year. Several artists post previews of their work on Instagram before the event to assist collectors in researching the artwork they would like to acquire and add to their collections. As the art show approaches, the creator of the event, Nanette Amis, highlights one of the 26 participating artists each day beginning May 14 on her Utah Art Market Instagram site. This daily feature provides insight into the artists’ unique styles and builds anticipation for soon-to-be-available art.

“People line up for this show way before the doors open, which is very different from any of my other shows,” Amis said. “Individuals will be following a certain artist and want to make sure they get the first chance at what the artist has to offer. There is a rule during the show: if you take a piece of art off the wall, you must buy it, creating a sense of urgency—‘I’d better grab this off the wall because someone else will buy it if I don’t.’ When the doors open, people literally run directly to the artist they are following and immediately pick the piece off the wall they have decided upon.” 

Contemporary Impressionism landscape artist Alison Prince is highly sought after by collectors. She has been selling art at the 1,3,5 Fine Art Show for the last three years. Amis loves the highly unique style of Prince’s painting and says it is what she looks for in an artist. 

 “Gathering inspiration is what every artist does,” Amis said, “but it is so cool when artists create their own style like Alison has done. It’s so easily recognized.” 

Last year, Prince brought 40 paintings to the show and sold 21. This year, she plans to show 50.

The excitement on the night of the show is unbelievable,” Prince said. “The atmosphere is filled with high energy and fun. Participation in the Utah Art Market and the 1,3,5 Fine Art Show really has helped to motivate and inspire me to pursue art as a professional.”

Landscape artist Kristen Tye, whose artwork sold out last year, will return to the show. Shelly Coleman, known for her realistic “rain droplet” paintings, will also be featured. Coleman says, “I love painting water. I enjoy how it reflects, distorts and skews reality.”

The 1,3,5 Fine Art Show takes place just once a year. It’s a high-energy show and a must-visit for art enthusiasts, individuals unaware they are art enthusiasts, and definitely all art collectors. The event will be at the Cottonwood Country Club, 1780 Lakewood Drive (5400 South) in Holladay, on June 14 from 5 to 8 p.m.
