Revisiting 'Collecting On The Edge: The Nora Eccles Harrison Museum Of Art' On Monday's Access Utah

artmuseum.usu.edu

Today, as a part of Utah State University’s Year of the Arts, we’ll focus on the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art, which is looking forward to its grand reopening Saturday, September 15th. We talk about a new book, “Collecting on the Edge: Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art.” We’ll talk with the museum’s Executive Director and Chief Curator, Katie Lee-Koven; writer, curator, and museum director Bolton Colburn, who edited the book; and independent curator and corresponding editor for Art in America, Michael Duncan, who wrote an introductory essay for the book.

The reopening gala will be held in the museum Saturday, September 15th from 7-9 p.m. Curator Bolton Colburn will speak at 7:30 p.m. and donor George Wanlass at 8:15 p.m.
