About

The Shaw Gallery and Hall Sculpture Garden were established in 2002 as part of the new Ethel Wattis Kimball Visual Arts Center. Exhibitions and programs are free and open to the community. Hosting five to six solo and group exhibitions per year, the gallery shows contemporary art in a variety of media.

Mary Elizabeth Dee Shaw (1878–1960) and her daughter Elizabeth Dee Shaw (1905–1996) were generous philanthropists who supported the arts, education, and healthcare. 

Ora R. “Dick” (1920–1996) and Edna Ione (1921–2005) Hall were successful entrepreneurs in Santa Fe, New Mexico before retiring in Ogden, where they served their community in myriad ways.

Our work continues with generous support from:

  • The Weber State University Telitha E. Lindquist College of Arts & Humanities
  • The Mark E. & Lola G. Austad Endowment for Visual Arts
  • The Lawrence T. & Janet T. Dee Foundation
  • Weber County RAMP tax initiative
  • The Val A. Browning Charitable Foundation
