Third Saturday for families: Words and Landscapes Inspired by From Here to the Horizon: Photographs in Honor of Barry Lopez. When: Saturday, February 20, 2027 at 1:00 PM Looking for a free family activity in Salt Lake City? Look no further than the Utah Museum of Fine Arts! Admission to the Museum is free every third Saturday of the month, and there is always an art-making activity for the whole family. This Third Saturday you’ll illustrate landscapes inspired by the words of Barry Lopez! A new exhibition at the UMFA, From Here to the Horizon: Photographs in Honor of Barry Lopez (https://umfa.utah.edu/exhibition/from-here-to-the-horizon/), showcases photographs inspired by words about the land that were compiled by writer Barry Lopez. Explore the photographs on view, then choose a word at random from Lopez’s book to illustrate in the classroom. From Here to the Horizon is a call and response between words and images—each photograph is paired with a phrase from Home Ground: A Guide to the American Landscape, the “reader’s dictionary” of geographic terms compiled by Lopez and his spouse Debra Gwartney. Standing as markers of admiration and affection for Lopez’s legacy, the images are like cairns guiding visitors through the landscape, finding elegance, inspiration, and solace in the places we call home. The works might spark connections with places we remember fondly, or hope to one day visit, or that that we may never see in person but know vividly because of a carefully written verse or a well-made photograph.
