Community Interview: Ana Martinez
This October, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts unveiled two reimagined galleries dedicated to the arts and cultures of Mexico, Central, and South America. The galleries were re-envisioned through a community-based curation process that centers living traditions, contemporary voices, and cultural relevance. This initiative, titled Transformación cultural: Nuestro pasado es presente (Cultural Transformation: Our Past is Present), was made possible by community work group members like Ana Martinez.

Creative Aging
Whether it’s picking up a paintbrush or taking the opportunity to draw, participating in the arts makes our lives healthier and richer. According to the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA), “Abundant evidence shows that arts participation improves the emotional well-being of older adults, supports good health, strengthens social bonds, and brings a heightened experience of purpose and joy to our lives as we mature.”
