Some portray objects, others portraits, and scenes, but all share in the condition of being remarkable.  These are the student entries that make up the 2014 Nebo District High School Art Show, now open to the public at the Peteetneet Art Gallery in Payson.
“This is our 8th annual show and we have had more entries this year than any other before,” said Donna Corno, Peteetneet Art Council President. “The gallery is full of beautiful paintings and sketches on the walls, plus more 3D sculptures than ever shown before.  The quality of the work continues to impress everyone. “
For their exceptional artwork, Ms. Corno awarded ribbons to first place winner Mahealani Takako Tukuafa, Sierra Davis, second place, and Jessie Barahona, who was awarded the third place honor. Ribbons were also handed to eight others whose amazing pieces of art were awarded honorable mention prizes in this year’s show.
“This show is unique because it is the only high school art show to feature our own Nebo School District art students in the State of Utah,” Ms. Corno said.  “The art teachers work hard and help to inspire wonderful creative talent in their students.”
The Nebo District High School Art Show is open to everyone and can be viewed at the Peteetneet Gallery, from 10 AM to 4 PM, Monday through Friday, through the end of April.
