Remarkable Talent On Display At 2020 Peteetneet High School Art Exhibit

Caden Wright's 'Scorpio' (pictured above) took Best of Show.
It's that time again for the High School Art Exhibit at the Peteetneet Museum and Cultural Arts Center in Payson. Participating schools are Spanish Fork High, Salem Hills High, and Payson High School. Organizers have just put it up and entries have been judged.  Now it is time for the public to visit the exhibit and enjoy the fruits of the student artists’ labor.

“We have a lot of really good art and I'm always happy to see what the students have created,” said
Rebecca Peery, Peteetneet Art Council President.  This year’s exhibit includes a wide range of mediums
in two dimensional art, photography, ceramics and metal sculpture. 

Russell Ricks of Art Hub on Main judged this year’s show. "Judging an art show's never an easy task
and this one was no different,” he said. “I was pleased to see all the participants put a lot of creative
thought and energy into their art piece. I encourage all the students to continue to create and improve
their craft throughout their life."

This year’s show received enough ceramics entries that they were judged in their own category. First
place was for ‘Ceramic Bowls, Set of Three’ by Erin Plewe from Spanish Fork High. Second place went
to ‘American Mimic’ by Coltran Ventura from Salem Hills. The third place ribbon was pinned on  ‘I Lost
My Marbles’ by Ailine Tukuafu from Spanish Fork. Honorable Mention was awarded to Selina Dennis
of Salem Hills High for her piece, ‘Dragon Gobblet.’ The Best of Show award went to Caden Wright of
Salem Hills for his work, ‘Scorpio.

In the Two Dimensional category, the winners are:

First Place for 'Summer’s Over' by Mireya Greenhalgh from Payson, Second Place for  'Van Gogh Study'
by Danielle Wilkerson from Payson, and Third Place for 'A Comfortable Silence' by Sasha Byrd from
Spanish Fork. Honorable Mention awards went to 'The Small Things' by Katherine Roberts from Payson,
'The Fool' by Cole Anderson from Spanish Fork, 'Scattered State of Mind' by Chloe Sokol from Salem
Hills, 'Knife Painting' by Violet Andrews from Payson, and 'Imagination' by Kylee Nelson from Spanish
Fork. 

The exhibit will run through the end of April, 2020, and organizers hope that the public will come and see
it! Museum hours are Monday - Friday from 10 AM - 4 PM.  The Peteetneet Museum and Cultural Arts
Center is located at 10 North 600 East, Payson, Utah.
