While classes may be in session, it is the policy of SMFA:
- that students be encouraged to observe their appropriate religious holy days;
- that instructors strive to facilitate this by allowing absence from classes for such purposes, and by trying to ensure that no examinations, reviews or other mandatory class assignments are scheduled for or due on such holy days and;
- that instructors provide ample opportunities for such students to make up work missed on such occasions without penalty.

"Secret Acts," features four artists who turn private acts into public narrative, examining reality/fiction, ritual/restitution and past/present. Daniel Embree appropriates gestures from Mormon rituals and examines gay issues within Mormonism, including marginalization, exclusion and paradox; Monica Lynn Manoski creates fragile armor made of sugar to recall and address her struggle with an eating disorder; Courtney McClellan transgresses the limits of imagination, text and three-dimensional space through the lens of Virginia Woolf; Ashley L. Wood explores "wrongness" through the repetition and deterioration of memory within the boundaries of the photograph.
Artist talks + closing reception: March 29, 6–9 pm
