Join the UMFA at Antelope Island’s annual Bison Round up to learn about the variety of textures in nature and how artists represent them in paintings and drawings. Then, construct your own book to classify and record rubbings of the natural textures around you. You can find UMFA by Whiterock Bay where the bison will be corralled and enjoy live music, other activities, and food for purchase.

Receive 20% off of your entrance fee by donating a non-perishable food item at the park gate. All food collected will be donated to the local food bank.

The Bison Roundup is a primary tool to help ensure the continued health of one of the nation’s largest and oldest public bison herds. Experience the event firsthand to better understand how the herd is managed.

UMFA’s presence at this 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.
