UTAH---Originally scheduled to conclude Saturday, “Sacred Gifts” has been extended to May 26 — for the same reason the MOA is packed on the Monday after graduation. To accommodate this final rush of patrons, the MOA has extended its operating hours to 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday, from now until the exhibit’s conclusion. In many ways, “Sacred Gifts” has been unprecedented. First is the attendance: More than 190,000 people from mid-November to mid-April. These patrons have also donated nearly $60,000 for the conservation of the exhibit’s paintings, as a gift to the nine institutions lending art for it. [link]
