Coming up soon, in October, I’m going to be part of a very cool art exhibit at BYU. I’m really happy about that. The exhibit begins October 5th and there is an opening reception on October 14th and you are welcome to come join us. I hope to see you there.
Here are the details about the exhibit from their website:
Nature and Nurture: Narratives of Family, an exhibition of 10 contemporary artists with ties to Utah or BYU will be on display in the BYU Harris Fine Arts Center B.F. Larsen Gallery October 5,2010 – October 28, 2010. An panel discussion and opening reception will be held Thursday October 14, 2010.
The exhibition will include artwork by Lee Udall Bennion, Emily Fox, Justin Hackworth (hey, that’s me!), Lisa Jackson, Brian Kershisnik, Emily McPhie, Annie Poon, Madison Smith, Christopher Thornock, and Janis Wunderlich.
The exhibitions’ goal is to explore the complex relationships between mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons through a diverse range of artistic mediums and styles. By concentrating on images of the family, and parenthood in particular, this exhibition hopes to provide insight into the beautiful yet challenging dynamics that lie at the core of the family.

And speaking of exhibits, here’s a reminder that the 30 Strangers exhibit is now showing at the Provo Library until September 29th so you still have a little bit of time to get-on down there and check it out.
Also, this Thursday, September 23rd at 6pm, I’ll be speaking at the Provo Library (in the room right across the hall from the art gallery) and I’m going to be talking about the 30 Strangers project, my process of making portraits, and how you can make better portraits of your own. Informative, fun, and there may even be cookies at the end. And who doesn’t love a good cookie.
