Youth Art Competition set to open

SPRINGVILLE, UT (PNAN) – Opening Saturday, November 19, 2022,  the “Annual Spiritual & Religious Youth Art Competition” is an exhibition for K-10 students living in Utah Valley, who have created artwork that will coincide with themes found in the exhibition, focusing on sanctuaries and what that means to each student. The exhibition will be on view in the Springville Museum of Art in the Ingrid Nemelka Gallery through January 11, 2023.

“Offering sanctuary is a revolutionary act; it expresses love, when others offer scorn or hate. It recognizes humanity, when others deny and seek to debase it. Sanctuary says ‘we’ rather than ‘I’. It is belonging, the building block of community,” says Diane Kalen-Sukra.

Students were encouraged to consider for their subject matter: Where do you go to feel the safest and calmest? Who do you go to when you need to feel peace and community? How can we help those around us find sanctuary?
