Anthony Sweat on “Adjusting our Eyes: Latter-day Saints and their Developing Religious Imagery”

Latter-day Saint artistic imagery, however, is relatively new, and still developing. In this fireside, religion professor and painter Anthony Sweat will share images, experiences, and insights from his recent book project, Repicturing the Restoration, to discuss the past and potential future of Latter-day Saint visual art.
