Art in Provo is growing and fluctuating. "Hour Provo" is an effort to contribute to that growth and to allow the diverse people that make up our community to become the art themselves. These folks are just some of the elements and ingredients that represent Provo. Each individual’s portrait is captured in oil paints and painted directly from the live model in one hour.
Our community has a wealth of diversity. Some have been here for multiple generations while others have been here only months. Some ask for money for food and some ask for political votes. There are musicians, businessmen, children, artists, mothers, students, old and young, poor and rich. There are many beliefs and many ethnic backgrounds. All are equal. Whether prominent or subtle, each individual is given the same attention as a part of "Hour Provo". Each is painted in one hour and each is equally represented.

CLOSING RECEPTION
I would like to officially announce the unofficial closing reception of HOUR PROVO at Coleman Studios. The reception will be part of the Downtown Provo Gallery Stroll. All the galleries and cafes in downtown Provo will be open late for you to enjoy free art and food. Come check it out! Also, the silent auction of the Hour Provo paintings is still open. Proceeds will benefit the Provo Food and Care Coalition.
