- Environmentally-Themed Exhibits at UMOCA and Drinks at Lake EffectCancelled
A Saturday afternoon visit to the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (UMOCA), where we'll check out the current exhibitions including:
As the Lake Fades: A multi-media exhibit, featuring works by multiple artists, that explores drought, climate change, and the environmental crisis facing Utahns today through the lens of the Great Salt Lake. The exhibit explores how people have been, and continue to be, connected to the lake as well as its importance to the past, present, and future residents of the Salt Lake Valley.
Parable Bodies: Sculptural works by Moses Williams featuring materials that are tactile, lustrous, visceral, and inherently emotive. Referencing deserts, mountains, plants, human and non-human creatures, this exhibit presents a world of entities that are not separate but rather exist in a relational web where “slippage, entanglement, and influence” occur between all materials.Suggested donation for admission to the museum is $10.
After the museum visit, we'll discuss the art over drinks and appetizers at nearby (and aptly named) Lake Effect (155 W. 200 South).
For extra credit - read these articles about the ecological crisis facing the Great Salt Lake, and we can discuss them (book club style) over cocktails:
"The Great Salt Lake's Dire Need for Regeneration" (GreenBiz, April 2023)
"As the Great Salt Lake Dries Up, Utah Faces an Environmental Nuclear Bomb" (New York Times, June 2023)
When you RSVP, please comment below or in the event chat to let me know if you're planning to join for drinks at Lake Effect so I can make sure we have an accurate number for our reservation with the bar.
- Single People Meetup at The Midway BarThe Midway, Midvale, UT
Come out and join the "Dont Die Alone" Club! Dating apps suck. Meeting people is where its at—making friends, networking, etc. Its how people get into relationships since doing it at work is illegal, LOL.
And join our Facebook Group to mingle with singles at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thechrisvossshowpodcast
We'll be meeting in The Midway Bar, which has lots of offshoot areas, a patio with four fire pits, pool tables, darts, Karaoke, and other fun stuff to do. Hopefully have some smores. to cook!
At our last meetup, we had a ton of fun hanging out, bowling, and making friends. We exchanged lots of numbers.
Come mingle, flirt, and remember, if you dont make the effort you may DIE ALONE. LOL. Sorry, I'm a jokester, dont die alone. Here you can see if you really "connect" with someone and also - hey, it's good to have guy pals and galpals to be friends with as well.
Sign up, time waits for no one, and no one is getting younger or better looking. Plus, fresh air, socializing, and moving are so much better and not depressing. Invest in possibilities! MEET PEOPLE.
The meetup chat for this is also open; feel free to invite friends to the group and event.
