Some people express themselves with dance moves. Others do it with scissors and glue sticks. Luckily, you don’t have to choose tonight!

Join artist Matt Hassig at our free collage booth during Dancing in the Park at Lester Park. Cut things up, stick them back together, and leave with a tiny masterpiece. No experience required, just a willingness to make something weird, wonderful, or somewhere in between.

Meanwhile, the dance floor will be busy learning the Electric Slide, Jazz, and Modern Dance, so you can collage, dance, or bounce between the two all evening.

What are you doing tomorrow? May we suggest making something instead of scrolling? Join us for the next Artist Factory workshop with Rebecca Pletsch to do Polaroid Transfers at Food Truck Friday— a process that’s equal parts science experiment, nostalgia, and always one of a kind. No experience needed. All supplies provided.

And it’s free. Like actually free.

Meet OCA's 2026 Artist in Residence: Zachary Fabri.

Zachary is a Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist whose work spans video, photography, sculpture, performance, and drawing. This fall, he'll spend two months living and creating right here in Ogden — and his project is unlike anything we've presented before.

Drawing on Ogden's own salt extraction history at Compass Mineral's 55,000-acre solar evaporation pond on the Great Salt Lake, Zachary's residency will explore the questions: What is taken? What remains? His work will weave together the history of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, Black cultural resilience, Jamaican identity, and the spiritual symbolism of salt across cultures — culminating in a solo exhibition of new video, photography, sculpture, and drawing at OCA.

Inspired by the Rothko Chapel and Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty — both works that transcend their aesthetic forms into social, political, and spiritual territory — Zachary intends for OCA's galleries to become a sanctum for reflection in uncertain times.

His community engagement will include a performative lecture, a movement workshop with a salt cod tasting prepared by an Ogden Chef, and a live performance at the opening reception on October 2nd.

We are so proud to welcome Zachary to Ogden. This is going to be something special.

The AIR program is made possible by Weber County RAMP , The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts , and Sam and Diane Stewart
