Six art pieces from Spanish Fork High School were accepted into the 51st Annual Utah All-State High School Art Show. One thousand entries were submitted to the show and only thirty percent of the entries were accepted.
“Our committee was only allowed to send our top 14 entries to the competition and to have 6 of our entries chosen is phenomenal! I am blown away with the talent of the students we have here at Spanish Fork. We would have loved to submit more than just 14 entries. Each piece was very well done. It was a really tough decision which ones to send,” says photo teacher, Kate Searle. She adds, “These students spend a lot of time outside of class to develop their skills and it has really paid off.”
Whitney Guymon, art teacher says, "The amount of creative students that we have at our school is unreal! I am so proud of these kids and think they are an excellent representation of the Visual Arts at SFHS."
Winning pieces include:
Anna Spencer- Déjà Vu acrylic on paper
Anna Spencer- Jacques ballpoint pen
Brookelyn Dafoe- Protected charcoal
Grace Forbush- Mountains of Moss photography
Monica Heimdal- In Control pastel
Samuel James Whitaker- Guardian Awakening digital photography (Honorable Mention Award)
The art show will run from February 4, 2023 - March 24, 2023 at the Springville Museum of Art.
