Join us on today for the opening celebration of two new exhibitions!
1. "Jorge Cocco Santángelo: Sacred Events from the Life of Christ." As an artist and a Mormon, Jorge Cocco Santángelo sees art and religion as deeply connected. Influenced by cubist painters-who sought, among other things, to simplify form. Cocco developed a unique style called sacrocubism. His style simplified shapes to communicate the essence and depth of the life of Christ as told in the New Testament.
2. "Light and Life: Stories and Photographs of a Global Faith." Photographers Cody Bell and Leslie Nilsson have traveled the world photographing the everyday lives of Latter-day Saints. In these seemingly ordinary moments, the photographers capture the light of Christ that each of us carry, illuminating the shared elements of our faith.
From 6:00-7:00 pm we will host a discussion with artist Jorge Cocco Santángelo, photographers Cody Bell and Leslie Nielson, and curator Laura Allred Hurtado in the museum auditorium. The reception will be from 7:00-9:00 p.m. and will include refreshments and live music. All of the evening's events are free and open to the public!
In just five minutes you'll be able to learn all the different pathways the Saints took to get to Zion. Bring your kids and stop by the our Mormon Trails exhibit to see some of the artifacts they brought over!
