ABOUT THE LOGAN GALLERY
Supporting Cache Valley Artists + Musicians
Where it Happens in Cache Valley
The Logan Gallery redefines what it means to live as an artist. We create opportunities for Cache Valley creatives to thrive through our gallery exhibitions + community events, e-commerce channels, and public art installations. We exist to support a vibrant culture where art is valued, creators are backed, and our local talent shines beyond Cache Valley.
Our Story
The Logan Gallery was born from a shared dream: to create a home for art, music, and creative community in the heart of Cache Valley. After years of traveling the country selling art and painting murals, owner Tanner Stephenson envisioned a space where artists could thrive—not just survive—and where the community could gather around meaningful, inspiring work. When David, MacKenzie, and Kevin joined the project, the vision expanded into something bigger than all of them.
What began as an empty building on South Main quickly became a movement—bringing together artists, musicians, makers, students, and supporters who all believe in the power of creativity to transform a city. The Logan Gallery continues to grow as a place where new artists are discovered, long-time artists are celebrated, and the community is invited to be part of something vibrant and real.
Our Values
Community – We believe art is strongest when shared. Everything we do is rooted in connection.
Opportunity – Artists deserve pathways to sustainable careers, not stereotypes of struggle.
Creativity – We celebrate curiosity, experimentation, and authentic artistic voice.
Collaboration – We grow together—artists, musicians, instructors, students, and supporters.
Accessibility – Art should be approachable, inclusive, and available to everyone.
Education – From classes to workshops, we nurture skill-building at every level.
Integrity – We show up for our artists and our community with honesty and respect.

MacKenzie Maness
MARKETING DIRECTOR
MacKenzie Maness brings a strong background in branding, entrepreneurship, and marketing—helping artists and makers launch their first businesses with clarity and confidence. Known as “the brains of the operation,” MacKenzie joined the gallery out of a deep love for art and co-creation.

David Frias
PUBLIC ARTS DIRECTOR
David Frías is a visual artist and muralist from Mexico whose work explores identity, discipline, and transcendence. Now based in Logan, Utah, he blends self-taught skill with formal mentorship under Edgar Uriel Bernal and Isaac Cortez, alongside training at ENPEG “La Esmeralda” and the Casa de Cultura de San Rafael. Working in pen and ink, acrylic, and stencil, David’s practice centers on the symbolic power of the image and his guiding philosophy, Edenism—an approach that views effort, truth, and love as paths to growth. His murals and studio works reflect a belief that struggle and perseverance shape the individual, and he brings that same commitment to his role at the gallery, where he fosters artistic exchange between Mexico and the United States.
