Twain Tippetts joined the faculty at Utah State University in 1956 as head of the Fine Arts Department, which included the academic units of visual art, theatre, and music. Over the years, he led the university's cultural arts activities, concert and lecture series, and organized numerous cultural arts tours both domestically and internationally. Twain also served as the keeper and curator of the university’s growing art collection, eventually becoming the director of the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art before his retirement. In recognition of his lifelong contributions to the fine arts, the Tippetts Gallery in the Chase Fine Arts Center is named in his honor.
The Eccles Gallery is dedicated to the loving memory of the daughters of David and Ellen Stoddard Eccles. These extraordinary women devoted their lives to improving society through education, the arts, medicine, the environment, and many other causes.
