Community Art Day: Button, Button + "Unmasking Creativity"
Saturday, November 14 | 10:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. | Free and open to all
Button, button, who's got the button? Design and create your very own button inspired
by NEHMA's current exhibitions. You can also view the finalist entries from our Jr.
High/High School student mask project "Unmasking Creativity" inspired by the photography
exhibition, The Love in the Time of Coronavirus Project. Come see how students have used their artistic talents to transform their masks,
and be inspired to create your own mask masterpiece. Masks will be provided for this
activity, or feel free to bring you own.
Please wear face coverings—NEHMA can provide some in adult or child sizes if you need!
Also, the activity will be set up in a way to facilitate proper social distancing.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Community Art Day: Making PB&J Sandwich Art with Seth Kaufman
Saturday, June 13 | Anytime | Free and open to all
Instead of taking a trip to the Museum for Community Art Day, enjoy an at-home field
trip and explore your creativity! This video features art from NEHMA's collection and a conversation with professional artist
Seth Kaufman about creating art from everyday objects, even including the PB&J sandwiches
he makes for his daughter.
Be inspired by Kaufman's PB&J sandwich art and make your own sandwich art! Make sure
to take photos of your art and share them with us before enjoying a fun and delicious
lunch!
Tag NEHMA on Instagram or Facebook or email your photos to nehma@usu.edu.

Celebrate International Slow Art Day with NEHMA! Through this slow-looking drawing

create your own version of the sculptures using objects found at home, then take a
photo!
