The title of the art exhibition is: “With This Covenant in My Heart: The Art and Faith of Minerva Teichert.” The BYU museum of Art is one of the largest holders of Minerva Teichert paintings and loaned 15 of her paintings to the Church History Museum for display. The exhibition was collaboration between Church owned museums like BYU MOA and Minerva Teichert paintings held in private hands.

“We don’t always get the opportunity to see so many Minerva Teichert paintings all up together. So I think it’s an opportunity that everyone should take the time to see,” said Dr. Janalee Emmer, director of the BYU Museum of Art. The MOA lent 15 various subjects of Teichert’s paintings to the Salt Lake exhibition. The Minerva Teichert art Exhibit will remain on display in SLC from July 6, 2023 to Aug. 3, 2024.
