Fuhst’s work has been seen locally at Kayo Gallery, 2nd Street, The Pickle Company and at Contemporary Design & Art during its surrealism show, as well as in exhibits in New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Fuhst also designed the artwork for PTC’s current production of Dracula.
Toypocalypse All 3-D is an exhibition of sculptures by Adrian Prazen.

He is also co-founder of Pop Arts LLC, a Utah company that produced large-scale metal sculpture for commercial settings. During its seven-year career, Pop Arts received a number of commissions and awards, including three best of show awards from the Utah Arts Festival.
