Show WE NEED YOU TO HELP REDUCE CRIME IN SALT LAKE CITY In an 'article in the Deseret News on January 30 a study was reported that stated: "More arts and music programs reduce youth crime." You can help reduce crime in your community by participating in a very successful art program here at the Museum. The Images and Words program combines literature and arts for high school students in Salt Lake County. ·,, . Every docent will be giving tours to the Images and Words high school students this spring but if you would like to do more (i~e. teach in the classrooms) come to a training session on March 18 at 10:00. Even if you are not sure come anyway and learn how we inspire, argue with, and laugh with high school students in the classroom as they learn the very important skill of reading a work of art. See all you crime fighters on March 18 at 10:00.

The vogue for the International style spread throughout Europe, from the Court of Emperor Charles IV in Bohemia to the Hanseatic city of Hamburg -- as well as to Italy, where Gentile da Fabriano and Antonio Pisanello kept it alive well into the fifteenth century.
