Happenin' Night at The Leo
Tonight The Leonardo hosted an integrated blend of simultaneous programming. Members of The University of Utah College of Humanities School enjoyed a catered dinner with live music, and danced the night away in the 3rd floor Terzo atrium. Meanwhile in the theater across the way, the Salt Lake Film Center screened a controversial film about Lyme Disease. More than 70 people turned out to watch the film and participate in the discussion afterward. And around the corner from that Youth City Artways held their weekly class teaching kids stop motion computer art in the Leonardo classroom.
Downstairs on the first floor, The Leo along with KSL Broadcasting, hosted an "Athlete's Night," where players of local sports teams hung out to sign autographs and talk with visitors. Cheerleaders for the Utah Blaze along with some of their players, Utah's pro indoor football team, greeted people at the door.
All of these layered events hinted at a brand of 'art-culture-and-science' The Leonardo hopes to make a permanent fixture in the old Salt Lake library building. And indeed tonight The Leonardo showed that beyond BODY WORLDS, The Leonardo is functioning as a dynamic venue - a living organism you could say.
