Gallery Walk with artist Pilar Pobil

Exhibition

Pilar Pobil is a well-known artist who was born in Spain at a time "when women were not encouraged to pursue their ambitions." She followed a more traditional path -- she got married, moved to the United States and had three children. When she was in her forties, she began to take her ambition seriously. She's self-taught in many mediums and currently resides in a beautiful, well-painted home in Salt Lake City. Pilar creates art from a place of feeling, using this to depict the reality she has lived.

Join Pilar at Utah State University's Merrill-Cazier Library for a walk around an exhibit featuring her work. She will discuss what each piece meant to her at the time of its creation. This event is free and open to the public.

Author lecture: 'Kingdom of Nauvoo: The Rise and Fall of a Religious Empire on the American Frontier'

Lecture/Readings

Dr. Benjamin Park, professor at Sam Houston State University, will present a lecture sponsored by the Religious Studies Program. His just-published book, "Kingdom of Nauvoo," investigates the brief, tragic life of a lost Mormon city, demonstrating that the Latter-day Saints are essential to understanding American history. Using newly accessible sources, Park argues that far from being outsiders, the Mormons were representative of their era in their distrust of democracy and their attempt to forge a sovereign society of their own.
