Salt Lake Tribune editorial cartoonist Pat Bagley is the artist in resident at The Leonardo. He has an exhibit of his work, will paint a giant mural and created some kids activities to teach them how to draw cartoons. If you’re in the area, it’s well worth your time to stroll through.
Gavin: Getting to the show, how did you become involved with The Leonardo’s artist-in-residence program?
Pat: I met Jann Howarth at the Leonardo when I hosted the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists convention last year and they graciously let us use their facilities. Jann runs the art program for the Leo and we got to know each other. She’s a terrific artist with a quirky sense of humor and she must have thought I could do something fun at the Leo.
