Cordell Taylor is a prolific assemblage artist and constructive sculptor. Recognizing a need for greater representation in the local art scene, Taylor curated exhibitions for 25 artists over four years, co-founded the Back Alley Gallery, and established the Cordell Taylor Studio/Gallery and a non-profit by the name of Surface. Taylor's philanthropic efforts include fundraisers for local charities and his active involvement with the Salt Lake Gallery Association.
