The Utah Museum of Fine Arts invites everyone to their next Art in Focus discussion on November 20th, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. The participating artists are Prof. Edward Bateman, Prof. Laurel Caryn, Dave Hyams, Carlos Guzman, Adelaide Ryder, and Roger Tuttle.

From the UMFA website:

What makes a photograph a work of art? How do artists continue to use early photographic processes to create contemporary works of art?

Join us at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts for an evening of community conversation, exhibition presentation, food, and more as you explore these questions, and our latest exhibition Photo-Secession: Painterly Masterworks of Turn-of-the-Century Photography

The evening will start with an overview presentation of the exhibition by Senior Curator Alisa McCusker, who will highlight some of her favorite objects. After the presentation, visitors will have the opportunity to explore the galleries and engage with local artists about selected artworks that resonate with them or relate to their own artistic practices.

Before the event ends, make sure to visit the interactive photography corner, where you can capture your own “painterly” photos and practice your portrait-taking skills while enjoying snacks and drinks in the UMFA Great Hall.

We look forward to seeing you there!
