Evening for Educators: Building a Story Together at UMFA

There are many ways to build a story and integrate English Language Arts with Visual Arts in the classroom!

Schnitzer and His Family Foundation we’ll explore ideas of collaboration, writing, and visual stories. As we participate in workshops and an interactive tour, we’ll learn together to make a more dynamic story. K–12 educators only. In-person and remote options available.

"A symphony of disappearing sounds for the Great Salt Lake", Olafur Eliasson

 Every night from Thursday, March 26, through Saturday, April 4, residents and visitors to Salt Lake City are invited to experience "A symphony of disappearing sounds for the Great Salt Lake"—a striking new artwork by Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson. Presented each evening at Memory Grove, the artwork comprises a musical composition and a colourful light projection that unfurls after dark upon the surface of a large, elevated sphere. The music for A symphony of disappearing sounds for the Great Salt Lake (2026) uses field recordings of local animals and natural phenomena, drawn from existing archives as well as new recordings made for the project. Broadcast within the city, these seldom heard sounds make explicit the relationships that connect Salt Lake City to the lake and its surrounding environment.
