Creative Aging:

Registration Required

This Creative Aging workshop at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts brings together local, cultural and ritual traditions, as well as participatory art like “Untitled (LA)” by artist Félix González-Torres. This workshop series will guide participants through sharing personal stories, creating a public presentation, and creating a unified, community-centered learning experience mirroring loss and communal connection.

This fall, the UMFA Creative Aging program is offering three workshops taught by guest artist educators: Offerings of Memory (4 sessions), Shibori with Jane DeGroff (two sessions), and Artist Mediums and Methods (6 sessions). In addition, there will be two workshops, Linoleum Prints and The Adorned Portrait (two sessions each), taught by UMFA Manager of Studio Programs Laura Sharp Wilson. 

This program has bloomed with more folks interested in signing up. We kindly ask that you only register for one of the guest artist workshops: Offerings of Memory, Shibori with Jane DeGroff, or Artist Mediums and Methods. In addition, you may also sign up for either Linoleum Prints or The Adorned Portrait, only one of these two per person. We appreciate your understanding so that we can accommodate all those who are interested in joining creative aging programming. For more information or questions please contact Laura Sharp Wilson, manager of studio programs, at laura.wilson@umfa.utah.edu | 801.585.6176.

All materials provided. This workshop is free for anyone 55+, registration is required. We know things come up, but please plan carefully so we can keep this programming free! Please do not reserve a ticket if you cannot attend.

Meet the Artist/Educator:

Originally from Chiapas, Mexico, Vicky Lowe K’ulub is a multidisciplinary artist and educator based in Salt Lake City. Her work varies from painting, hand-crafter paper collage, natural dyes, and backstrap weaving. Through her work she honors Indigenous knowledge and diasporic memory. As program director for Born from Corn and Weaving Memories at Artes de México en Utah, she develops culturally rooted workshops that empower community storytelling. Vicky began learning backstrap weaving from her mother, reclaiming a family tradition nearly lost in her generation. Her practice, shaped by self-taught practice and ancestral connection, is an act of resistance, healing, and belonging.
