Third Saturday: Yarn Painting
FREE Admission and Family Art Activity at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts.

Explore the use of yarn and cloth as art materials in the UMFA’s current exhibition, Las Artes de México, and then create a one-of-a-kind wall hanging that tells the story of you.

The Third Saturday art activity in June is inspired by the UMFA’s current exhibition, Las Artes de México, on view through September 26, 2010. Las Artes de México explores the richness of Mexican art and culture, from the ancient work of the Mayans and Aztecs through the twentieth century. The exhibition includes a broad array of artifacts such as woven fabrics, masks, and religious objects from Mesoamerica (pre-Conquest Mexico) as well as paintings by modernist masters like Rufino Tamayo, Jose Clemente Orozco, and Diego Rivera.

When:
Saturday, June 19 from 2-4 pm

Where:
UTAH MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS
Marcia and John Price Museum Building
Emma Eccles Jones Education Center
University of Utah campus

SLC, UT 84112

Third Saturdays are free family activity days that take place at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts on the third Saturday of every month. UMFA Curators of Education create exciting opportunities for children and families to learn about art and investigate how it is made. Through hands-on art studio projects and Museum tours, families explore their own creativity while using art from the UMFA’s collection and current exhibitions as a source of inspiration.
