Splendid Heritage: Perspectives on American Indian Art: The UMFA is honored to curate and premiere this extraordinary exhibition of American Indian art from the John and Marva Warnock Collection. Splendid Heritage: Perspectives on American Indian Art will present 144 objects of unique artistry and powerful cultural expression from the Native people of the Plains, Plateau and Northeast. Museums traditionally interpret this type of material by emphasizing either the cultural context or fine arts context. Splendid Heritage, however, has been curated to examine the objects from both perspectives – the intersection of culture and art – to uncover a richer narrative about the material and enhance the viewer’s understanding. Runs through Jan. 3, 2010.

Re-Act is an exciting and unpredictable collaborative exhibition involving five creative community groups from Salt Lake City. The exhibition is comprised of five environmentally themed pieces from the UMFA’s permanent collection and student artist’s reaction to that work. UMFA curators of education initiated the student’s reaction to the artworks by supplying them with one concept each - inspiration, imitation, elaboration, translation, and opposition. Each student group was also given art material assignments of canvases, photomontage, shadowboxes, found object sculptures, or printmaking. This exhibition is rich in content, presenting to the audience multiple versions of artistic themes and material use, along with student comments, visual and verbal, about what the process meant to them. Runs through May 10.
