FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
SALT LAKE ACTING COMPANY PRESENTS “HOW I BECAME AN ARRTIST,” AN EXHIBITION OF WORK BY STUDENTS AT THE VISUAL ART INSTITUTE INSPIRED BY SLAC’S “HOW I BECAME A PIRATE”
Salt Lake Acting Company and the Visual Art Institute are proud to present How I Became an ARRtist — an exhibition of pirate-themed art by VAI students in conjunction with SLAC’s production of HOW I BECAME A PIRATE, based on the book by Melinda Long and illustrated by David Shannon. The work will hang in the Green Room Gallery until December 30th in a space dedicated to showing work by local artists in rotating exhibits inspired by productions onstage.
Using charcoal, paint, and paper sculpture, the work in the exhibition reflects a few of the varied techniques students learn at the Visual Art Institute. The magic of merging visual and performing arts is depicted in the exhibition as it illuminates the imaginations of students ages 5 to 18.
This is the second year running that SLAC and the VAI, both of whom endeavor to plant the seeds of creative curiosity early in life, have conspired together to present work in tandem with SLAC’s annual professional children’s production.
The Visual Art Institute is a 33-year-old non-profit art education program focused on preserving and facilitating the creativity of youth. VAI provides high-quality instruction and classes in a wide range of media focusing on essential applied skills, working largely from life, as well as conceptual thinking. Many VAI students go on to earn local, state, and national awards as well as entrance and scholarships to universities and art schools throughout the country
