The Olympic Arts Festival is going to be a spectacular series of arts events beginning February 1 and running through the 2002 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, with some of the art exhibits opening in early January. The festival highlights some of America's great contributions to the arts and humanities, with specially commissioned works by contemporary artists. Here are a few of the highlights of the Arts Festival which will include more than 60 performances, 10 major exhibitions and 50 community programs and exhibitions: Dale Chihuly, the creative force who elevated glassworking to an art form, is one of the most recognized artists in the world. He has been honored as America's first National Living Treasure. "Dale Chihuly: Salt Lake 2002" will be presented at the Salt Lake Art Center, featuring 16 new chandeliers as well as other work by Chihuly. The exhibition runs January 25 - March 17. The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater will present an Olympic premiere of a ballet based on the life of the gifted Olympian Florence Griffith Joyner. Judith Jamison, award-winning choreographer and Artistic Director of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, merges dance, athleticism and art in a new work to celebrate and honor a great American sports hero. The company will perform February 9-10 at the Capitol Theatre, and February 12-13 at the George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Center for the Performing Arts. Throughout the Olympic Arts Festival, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir will perform with international artists in the historic Salt Lake Tabernacle. Featured guest artists include Frederica von Stade on February 9, Richard Stoltzman on February 16 and Evelyn Glennie on March 9.
