Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic Christopher Knight is retiring

Christopher Knight, the Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic for the Los Angeles Times, is retiring after more than 40 years in the field, with his final day set for November 28. Knight spent 36 of those years at the Los Angeles Times, becoming one of the last full-time art critics at a major U.S. daily newspaper. He won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 2020 for his incisive coverage of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's proposed overhaul, and received a $50,000 Lifetime Achievement Award for Art Journalism from the Dorothea and Leo Rabkin Foundation the same year. Knight also authored two books and appeared on programs like 60 Minutes and PBS NewsHour.

I Jump the Moon Exhibit Featuring Local Artists to open at USU's Sorenson Center

The 'I Jump the Moon' exhibit, featuring 12 artists with physical and developmental disabilities from the Jump the Moon studio, opens August 12 at the Lyndsley Wilkerson Gallery in Utah State University's Sorenson Legacy Foundation Center for Clinical Excellence. Each artist receives a dedicated wall displaying two or three pieces, with a reception on August 15. Founder Michael Bingham, a retired art teacher and USU alumnus, also reserved a wall for 200 drawings of his cat Benny by residents of three assisted living centers. The nonprofit studio, now in its eighth year, recently gained national recognition from a PBS News segment.
