The St. George Art Museum has much to offer, including Soup in a work of art!
Our Club was introduced or re-introduced to the work of the St. George Art Museum at our meeting on February 10th. Museum Manager and Curator, Deborah Reeder brought the members up to date on new acquisitions, current shows – including a large Zions National Park exhibit entitled An Art Voyage through Zion. She also introduced us to the work of Charles Becker whose exhibit, Into the Mysteries of the Super Real, is most intriguing.
When considering the impact of the current economy, Deborah and her staff have done a marvelous job of maintaining a high quality museum with interesting collections and exhibits. Deborah did express her sadness of being unable to bring traveling shows to St. George right now but hopes to resume those in the future as the area experiences some recovery.
She also reminded us that the economy has not put an end to the Art Walks! Enjoy an evening of gallery strolling – be sure start at the Museum for your visit card to win prizes – refreshments and good fun.
And, Deborah told us about the upcoming Soup ‘N Bowl Fundraiser, a luncheon
which will include a hand-made bowl of your choice in which to enjoy your soup and take home for your personal collection. Advance tickets are available at the museum and will prevent the delay of standing in line for a ticket on fundraiser day, March 4th.
For more information on these activities and the broader perspective on the museum, visit their website: Museum@sgcty.org.
After a program on February 17th by our Membership Chair John Johnson, we will hear on February 24th from Kristy Pike on the Art Around the Corner Foundation as well public relations tips for our Club. See you then.

And, with this post, I pass the mantel to Todd Watts, the new “blogmaster.” Be sure to send him information you would like included in the blog.
