Many Voices of the West at UMFA, featuring Ashley Marie Farmer, Alborz Ghandehari and Laura Ruiz. All three will take part in the next ACME session this weekend. The Many Wests exhibit is on view now through June at the museum.

  • March 1: ACME Session: Many Stories, Many Wests, 6:00-7:30 p.m. at Utah Museum of Fine Arts, 410 Campus Center Dr., SLC. Free. "What is the West to you? What’s your story? How do those stories intertwine? Join us as we celebrate the original caretakers, memory makers, and boundary breakers and uplift the voices in our community who stake a claim in the West. Hear from creatives, leaders, and scholars as they share their personal perspectives on works of art in the exhibition."

  • March 8: Evening for Educators: Many Voices in Many Wests, 5:30-8:30 p.m. virtual for K-12 Educators. "What is the first thing that pops into your mind when you hear “The West”? Is it images of cowboys and settlers? Huge empty expanses of desert? On this evening, we’ll use our special exhibition, Many Wests, on view February 4––July 11, 2023, to explore the inclusion of multiple perspectives and voices. We’ll discuss how challenging a single-sided history or narrative allows classrooms to engage in critical thinking skills and explore how art can be an approachable way students can share their own thoughts and ideas."
