Unearth a Story: Be a Paleoartist!

UMFA at Marmalade Branch Library

When: Tuesday, July 28, 2026, 3 pm–4 pm
Where: Marmalade Branch Library

Unearth a Story at your community library with the Utah Museum of Fine Arts! Nurture your curiosity, feed your imagination, and embrace the joy of discovery. Join the UMFA at Marmalade Branch of The City Library to to become a paleoartist!

Paleoart is drawing or painting prehistoric creatures like dinosaurs. Paleoartists look at dinosaur skeletons and study what scientists know about dinosaurs to make these extinct animals come to life. Make your own fossil rubbing then “flesh it out” by drawing skin, teeth, feathers, or horns.

Please note that this event takes place in the Children’s Library and is meant for families with children only. Adults are welcome at all other UMFA workshops. Check out Third Saturday for Families, Open Studio for Adults, or Drop-in Drawing Disco events this summer!
