Art of the Harvest
Art of the Harvest, on display through
December, 1999 celebrates the rich bounty of the harvest
season. The exhibit is derived form the Museum's permanent collection and
portrays the harvest season as interpreted by Utah artists. Through their
art they express the preparations, work and rewards of each harvest. Among
those featured in the display are Harriet Richards Harwood, James Taylor
Harwood, Earl Jones, John C. Hafen, LeConte Stewart
and Mahonri Mackintosh Young. Their works feature familiar Utah subjects
like the Heber Valley, the Lehi Old Mill, farming in Mt. Pleasant and hay
harvesting in Gunlock. The exhibit was coordinated by docents at the UMFA
to supplement the fourth grade pARTners program. The focus of the fall program
is the elements of art. More than 3,000 children will view the exhibit over
the next several months. The exhibit is free and open to the public. (left
