This Month's Project:

Join us in September for Open Studio! We will be in our exhibition Irrititja Kuwarri Tjungu, where we will discuss contemporary Aboriginal desert painting! Then, we will create an abstract work of art in the studio inspired by Aboriginal peoples' unique art style!

About Open Studio:

Each month in this free-choice, self-guided art-making experience for all ages, you’ll be inspired by different artworks on display, then create your own artistic responses in the MOA studio! Join us any time between 11 AM & 1 PM to participate. All are welcome, and registration is not required.

We typically hold new Open Studio activities on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month, so drop by every month for a new activity featuring different artworks and materials!

If you would like an ASL interpreter for this event, please contact liz_brailsford@byu.edu.
