Framework Arts transforms UMOCA’s Art Truck with Work: An Audio-Visual Exploration of Effortful Lives. Work is a collective, participatory art project generated by the students and families of West side neighborhoods of Salt Lake City. Students investigated the concept of work in all its forms and use a broad storytelling framework to present it through sound and images. They ask and answer such questions as, What does work look like at home? What kind of work do you help me do to be a good student and family member? What job did you want when you were my age? What kind of job do you hope I have one day? Work invites viewers of all ages to participate in this storytelling effort with hands-on activities, audio experiences, and conversations about what work looks like and feels like for all of us. KRCL Community Radio produced the audio portion of this project.

About the Art Truck
The only traveling educational art exhibit of its kind in Utah, the UMOCA Art Truck brings exciting and accessible contemporary art, created by leading local and national artists, directly to schools and community venues across the state. Each on-site visit by the Art Truck includes the expertise of a trained museum educator who leads students through a meaningful exploration of the current exhibition. Teachers are provided with structured lesson plans to supplement their tour and incorporate the Art Truck more deeply into their curriculum.

Event is free and open to the public.
