Ben Hammond On Composition
On May 22, join us in honoring one of Utah’s most important artists: Ben Hammond, sculptor of national monuments—including the recent statue of Martha Hughes Cannon in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda—and inductees of the National Football League’s Hall of Fame. Hammond is the first artist inducted into the Salt Lake Art Museum’s Utah Masters series, a distinction reserved for the state’s most accomplished and visionary artists.
For the occasion, Hammond has agreed to deliver a rare public lecture titled “Composition,” exploring his creative process and philosophy. The talk will be accompanied by a small exhibition of Hammond’s sculptures and working methods.
This event marks the first public event of the Salt Lake Art Museum. While admission is free, seats require reservation and are expected to fill quickly. (For those unable to attend, a recording will be available on the Museum’s website afterward.)
