Meet The Fletchers Gallery Talk and Exhibitions Opening 
Saturday, February 21, 2026 | 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM 

On February 21, 2026, the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art invites the public to an exhibition opening for Meet the Fletchers and Jim Mangan: The Crick. These compelling exhibitions explore the American West through art shaped by community and legacy. 

Meet the Fletchers highlights artist Calvin Fletcher, his family, and his role in founding USU’s art department and establishing Logan as the epicenter of Modern art in Utah. The Crick is a photographic meditation on the American West, highlighting a group of young men often referred to as the Lost Boys. These two distinct exhibitions share a deep connection to the human stories at their core.

Join us for a gallery talk, live music, and reception. Hear from curators Danielle Stewart, PhD (NEHMA) and James Swensen, Ph.D (BYU), and Ronald Jenkins, grandson of Calvin Fletcher. 

Free and open to all!
