UMFA - Make Your Own Community at the Brigham City Museum of Art & History
Meet the UMFA at the Brigham City Museum of Art & History to enjoy the Crossroads: Change in Rural America exhibition and to make your own art. Be inspired by the many buildings in your community to create a sculpture of your street or the houses and businesses in your town. What types of buildings are in your neighborhood? What do you want your town to look like in the future? We will provide wood blocks for you to draw on and make a small community of your own.

SUMA - Harry Bertoia: Master Modernist
This exhibition brings together objects that represent the diversity of Harry Bertoia's creative process. In addition to a multiplicity of sculptures and monotype prints that feature both abstract and organic designs, Bertoia’s so-called tonal or sonambient sculptures, which use sound as a sculptural material, transform the gallery into an ambient sonic environment.
SLCPLS - Marmalade Branch - Poetry Writing Group with SLCC Community Writing Center
Welcome to the new Poetry Writing Group! Together we'll learn about reading, writing, and publishing poetry. Beginners are welcome. Hosted by members of the SLCC Community Writing Center. This group aims to help you grow as a poet, no matter what level you're starting from. Feel free to bring a poem you've written so we can workshop it together, but no worries if you don't have material yet: we will spend part of each meeting doing poetry exercises to help everyone get comfortable.

SUMA - The Past is Present: Art in Times of Crisis
This exhibition features two bodies of work by two artists, Gonkar Gyatso (Lhasa, b. 1961) and Stewart Seidman (U.S., b. 1939), who have recorded and responded to the transformative, traumatic, and ongoing events of the last four years: the Covid-19 pandemic, the Black Lives Matter uprisings, the war in Ukraine, and the war in Gaza. These two distinct series present an archive of individual testimony, while offering viewers instruments of memory and invitations to consider the impact of the past on the present—what’s been lost and gained, how to look behind with deeper understanding and look ahead with greater hope.
