THE LEONARDO AND KEN SANDERS COLLABORATE
(Salt Lake City) Ken Sanders Rare Books will be opening a boutique location at The Leonardo with a range of books related to the art, science and technology museum’s collections, exhibits and programs.
In addition to the boutique location, Ken Sanders Rare Books and The Leonardo are partnering on a monthly bookclub for Leonardo members which will focus on authors covering topics and stories related to The Leonardo’s mission of inspiring creativity and innovation. The first bookclub book title will be announced on a Facebook Live on the Leonardo’s page on Wednesday February 17th at 3pm.
Leonardo Executive Director Alexandra Hesse says of the partnership, “Ken Sanders has a legacy in the Utah community of cultivating deep thinking and generating enthusiasm around ideas. His passion for literature and writing is contagious and we hope this boutique presence will give our visitors a chance to connect with his love of learning and the incredible stories and knowledge to be found in his books. Not only are we honored to have Ken’s store as a physical presence at The Leonardo, we are so excited to be jointly programming community events, because now more than ever, we believe in the importance of the exchange of ideas, community dialogue, and curiosity about each other’s stories.”
Ken Sanders explained why The Leonardo is the perfect location for the Ken Sanders Rare Books boutique, “As the bulldozers are getting closer and closer to our home of the past twenty five years, we are excited to open a Ken Sanders Rare Books boutique at The Leonardo. Especially with the joint book club program, we hope to reach a lot of people and engage them in deep discussions about books and big ideas. Come visit us at Ken Sanders Rare Books and at our new boutique location at The Leo”.
Ken Sanders Rare Books will remain fully open at their present location through 2021.
Ken Sanders Rare Books at The Leonardo can be found on the museums first floor. The space will open February 17th, in conjunction with a new traveling exhibit brought in partnership with the Utah Black Chamber, Sorting Out Race.
