Salt Lake City 公布 2026 市长艺术家奖：五位艺术家与文化机构获奖
位于犹他州盐湖县的盐湖城市，Salt Lake City 市长 Erin Mendenhall 10月13日晚在 Finch Lane Gallery（Art Barn）举行的仪式上，公布 2026 年市长艺术家奖（Mayor's Artist Awards）获奖名单，五位艺术家与文化机构获奖。该奖项设立于1992年，由 Salt Lake City 艺术委员会负责评选，表彰显著丰富本市文化景观、为居民带来欢乐的艺术家、文化机构与创意领袖。
今年的获奖者包括：以墨西哥与拉丁裔传统为根基、通过艺术项目联结社区的文化机构 Artes de México en Utah（2010年创立，执行主任 Luis Novoa）；Plan-B Theatre 联合创始人兼常务董事 Cheryl Ann Cluff；以纪实摄影呈现美国西部被忽略历史、特别是原住民经历的摄影家 Russel Albert Daniels；自1970年代末起推广犹他艺术的画廊 David Ericson Fine Art 创始人 David Ericson；以及犹他当代艺术博物馆执行主任 Laura Allred Hurtado。
Mendenhall 说：「95 年前，Salt Lake City 居民在大萧条时期为 Art Barn 破土动工，因为他们相信艺术值得在本市占有一席之地。这份信念在今天同样重要。我们表彰的这些人，帮助讲述我们的故事、保存我们的历史，并为他人创造体验艺术的机会。」

Salt Lake City Announces 2026 Mayor's Artist Awards Recipients
Salt Lake City is a city in Salt Lake County, Utah. Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall announced the recipients of the 2026 Mayor's Artist Awards at a ceremony and reception on the evening of October 13 at Finch Lane Gallery in the Art Barn. Established in 1992, the awards are facilitated by the Salt Lake City Arts Council and honor artists, cultural organizations and creative leaders who significantly enrich Salt Lake City's cultural landscape.
The 2026 awardees are Artes de México en Utah, founded in 2010 under Executive Director Luis Novoa, which fosters cultural understanding through arts programming rooted in Mexican and Latino heritage; Cheryl Ann Cluff, co-founder and longtime managing director of Plan-B Theatre; Russel Albert Daniels, a documentary photographer whose work illuminates overlooked histories of the American West, especially Indigenous experiences; David Ericson, founder of David Ericson Fine Art and a central advocate for Utah art since the late 1970s; and Laura Allred Hurtado, executive director of the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art.
"Ninety-five years ago, Salt Lakers broke ground on the Art Barn because they believed art deserved a place in our city, even during the Great Depression," Mendenhall said. "That belief is just as important today. The people we're honoring have helped tell our stories, preserve our history, and create opportunities for others to experience art."
