Westminster's Beyond the BFA
On Friday, March 19th, Westminster College is presenting a day of artistic events open to the entire community.
The day begins with a panel discussion -- Beyond the BFA -- at the Jewett Center for the Performing Arts (1850 S 1300 E). The panel includes curators Jeff Lambson and Jill Dawsey, from the BYU Museum of Art and the UMFA, the Utah Arts Council's Laura Durham, Art Access Executive Director Ruth Lubbers, 15 Bytes editor Shawn Rossiter and Kenny Riches and Cara Despain from GARFO. The group will be discussing a variety of topics to help Westminster art students, as well as members of the community, better understand how to be an active professional artist in Utah's art community.
The panel discussion will be followed by a series of artist workshops, at 2:30 pm, with topics to include canvas stretching, technique demonstrations, creating artist statements and compiling portfolios.
The day will conclude at 5 pm with a reception for Layne Meacham's "New Works" at the Kim T. Adamson Alumni House (1700 South 1200 East) -- see this month's edition of 15 Bytes.
