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.

Please contribute to our community.

Rob Williams

no.25

Rob has lived here in Provo since the 70's. For the last four years he has been a star feature at open-mike night at a local live music venue. He has come to be known as "Rockin Rob". He is very friendly. His smile, which he is well known for, can hardly be held back because he loves laughing so much. He was fun to paint. I had a hard time not laughing along with him.
