Wasatch Mountain State Park visitor center

Join the UMFA at Wasatch Mountain State Park. We will make our own rubbings and drawings of fish, inspired by traditional Japanese art of Gyotaku fish prints. Gyotaku was created hundreds of years ago when Japanese fisherman wanted to record the fish they caught. Since there were no cameras, the fisherman would make prints of their fish using ink and rice paper.

The event is part of the Museum’s ARTLandish: Land Art, Landscape, and the Environment series of talks, films and other events that explore our complex relationship with the world around us.

The ARTLandish series is sponsored by the S. J. and Jessie E. Quinney Foundation.
