Now, on to Halloween! It was a busy, but fun day for all of us here at the art center. We started things off with painting some mini pumpkins, hearing scary stories from around the world, and drawing monsters.
Hey all- Happy Halloween! So first up, let me report back on how we did at the Sandy Visual Art Show- we did fantastic! They only awarded 5 ribbons in the disabled category, and 4 of them went to our program! Nicholas P got 1st place, Chris got 2nd place, Tyler got 3rd place, and Jessi got 4th place! In addition to those, all of our other artists received an award of merit. Great job, everyone! Now, on to Halloween! It was a busy, but fun day for all of us here at the art center. We started things off with painting some mini pumpkins, hearing scary stories from around the world, and drawing monsters. We then did some Nightmare Before Christmas karaoke, learned about how to write a scary story, and made some sugar skull art. It was a busy morning! In the afternoon, we took some people over to the main office to do some trick or treating, and others stayed here and did some Halloween coloring sheets while watching some Halloween shows. We had two viewing options- Ghostbusters, and some Twilight Zone episodes for those who wanted something a little spookier. Amidst all the busy fun, we were able to snag a group photo to commemorate all of our clients' awesome costumes today. Back row: Steve as a trucker, Joe as a wolf, Tyler as a scary clown, Jonathan as a Jedi, Katie F as a witch Middle row: Nina as an elephant activist, Linda as Bella Swan, Chris as a pirate, Darin as a Star Wars trooper, Rose as a pumpkin, Nick P as Deadpool Front row: Cyd as Maleficent, Shane as a Star Wars fan, Nikki as Miguel from Cobra Kai, Katie G as Mulan, and Matt J as a hobbit Happy Halloween!!!

I know we've been terrible about posting on here, so let me give you latest update on all of our art goings-on. First off, I am so sorry that I missed posting about the State Fair! We had so many people submit artwork, and have so many ribbons to brag about! Kelly and Ryan got 1st place ribbons, Darin and Katie F got 2nd place ribbons, Katie G and Shane got 3rd place ribbons, Cyd and Matt N got 4th place ribbons, Jessica D and Tyler got 5th place ribbons, Chris and Robin got 6th place ribbons, Linda and Nic C got 7th place ribbons, and Rosealita, Nikki, Jon E, Walter, Jessi, and August all got Honorable Mention ribbons! Such winning artists! Next up, we have another show that several of our artists have submitted artwork to- the Sandy Visual Art Show. The opening reception is this next Monday, and you can go view the artwork any day after that until October 22nd. The show is at the Sandy Senior Center, and their hours are 10am-4pm Monday through Friday, and they are closed Saturdays and Sundays. Masks are required to enter the building. I'll post an update here once I find out what awards (if there are any) our artists won. In past years they've done certificates or ribbons, so we're hopeful :)
And for our last art show excitement, Katie Felgar will have a private show on display at one of the library branches! This is something she applied for a few years ago, and it was set to happen in 2020. But then... 2020 happened. It got rescheduled, but is still happening! The library is not doing any events currently out of an abundance of caution, so there will be no opening reception for the show. However, you can go see her artwork at the Day-Riverside library branch (1575 W 1000 N, SLC) anytime after October 13th during business hours (M-Th 10-9, F-S 10-6). Currently, all of the Salt Lake library branches require masks. It's a beautiful abstract show, and you won't want to miss it! |
