At the Heart of it All
May Flowers: A Tour of the ‘Garden’ in the Galleries
Everyone knows that April showers bring May flowers, but what this phrase forgets to mention is that May flowers also bring hay fever sours! For all my fellow Utahns who will be allergic to the whole state for the next several months, here is a bouquet of floral goodness that won’t make you sneeze. Explore the galleries at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts and discover blooms from around the world and across time.
More Than a Store: Somos Maiz
The Museum Store at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts is growing and transforming, and at the heart of that change is a diverse and talented array of makers, artisans, craftsmen, and cultural connectors. As the UMFA collectively endeavors to decolonize the museum, we too are investing in community members that make beautiful and unique items that visitors love.
Hank Willis Thomas and the Power of Language
Pitch Blackness / Off Whiteness is a compelling example of how his works challenge viewers to think critically about the power of language. Through his incisive selection of words, phrases, and idiomatic turns of phrase, Thomas asks us to consider the complicated and multivalent meanings of language we use often habitually and without thinking much about it. What ideas do “pitch black” and “off white” conjure up in your mind? What meanings could it imply that these familiar adjectives are transformed into unfamiliar nouns? How does this example reveal how words and phrases reduce complex experiences of life and society?

Inspiring Critical Dialogue and Illuminating the Role of Art in Our Lives
The UMFA is about more than objects—it’s about helping you connect in meaningful ways to great art and ideas, to the fascinating history of human culture and creativity, at your own pace.
No matter how young you are, what you know, or where you’re from, works of art are one-of-a-kind human creations that tell unique stories, evoke memories, inspire conversations, and open possibilities.
Find yourself here and explore the critical conversations waiting in the galleries.
