  • UMFA - Drop-In Tour: Art Tours for Book Lovers featuring "Beneath the Wide Silk Sky"
    Please join us at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts on May 18 at 11 o'clock for an all ages drop-in tour of the young adult book Beneath the Wide Silk Sky by local author Emily Inouye Huey. This tour will feature works of art from the dynamic exhibition Pictures of Belonging: Miki Hayakawa, Hisako Hibi, and Miné Okubo. The hourlong experience combines art and literature to give your family a broader understanding of the experiences of Japanese people living in America before, during, and after WWII. Read Beneath the Wide Silk Sky before the tour or get inspired to read it afterwards!

  • UMFA - Third Saturday for Families: Let’s go Birding
    Ever been birding? Put on your metaphorical binoculars and get going through the galleries at this Third Saturday for Families. Artists have painted and sculpted animals since art began, and birds are a favorite. We will go birding in the Museum, looking for all types of birds using a birding guide created by the Tracy Aviary. Learn about the birds in the UMFA collection and then create your own bird art in the classroom. This event is in collaboration with the Tracy Aviary. Check out all of our upcoming Third Saturday for Families.
