IDENTITY ART SHOW

I am Utah. I am UVU. I am a mentor. I am a student. I am art. I am Identity.

“Open Your ‘I’”

Join us on April 9th, 2011 at Provo Town Square for the exciting opening of this show. As you stroll through the gallery of works, listen to the engaging tunes of the band Holy Water Buffalo, appreciate the talent of local artists, and enjoy the night life of Historic Downtown Provo. We as students have been encouraged to “open our ‘I’” and discover who we truly are. We hope that the artwork displayed will not only showcase our talents, but our personalities as well. So please come and enjoy a night of art, entertainment and discovery. “Open your ‘I’” and be identified!

Francis Moore said “I’ve grown certain that the root of all fear is that we’ve been forced to deny who we are.” The Identity art show is a project designed not only for the senior Visual Art students at Utah Valley University to identify who they are as artists, but to also help provide youth within our community with the opportunity to work with artists to discover their own identities.

We as artists and students will display not only our own artwork, but artwork created by local youth in a professional art show. The Identity show will be sure to gather attention not only for the historic downtown Provo area, but more importantly to art as well.

Press Releases

I have consolidated the two kinds of press releases and put in all the details I can. I figure for the contact information our marketing people will probably want to put their own info so they can be contacted for further information? I will be e-mailing this to Derek as well so hopefully he can get some things done with promoting the event. I added the official event blog's url to the contact info at the end as well and I will update that blog ASAP to reflect the most recent information about the show! I also had my sister, who is an English major at UVU, look these press releases over and help me edit a few things. If you have any questions or concerns with this please let me know ASAP!

Narrative Style Press Release:

The root of all fear, according to Francis Moore, is that we’ve been forced to deny who we are. The Identity art show is a project designed to provide local youth with artist-mentors in the form of Utah Valley University's senior visual art students. This collaborative process will yield an increased understanding of and appreciation for the individual identities of everyone involved, as well as new and exciting works of art proclaiming who we are, which will be on display starting April 9th at Provo Town Square.

This celebratory exhibit opens to the public on Saturday April 9th at 7:00 PM, and gives us each the amazing opportunity to better understand ourselves and our incredibly unique community. Come enjoy the engaging music of local band Holy Water Buffalo, appreciate the talent of local artists, and show your support for our local high school teens who are brave enough to put their identities on display. It will be a night to remember, full of art, entertainment and discovery. “Open your ‘I’” and be identified!

IDENTITY 2011

I am Provo. I am UVU. I am a mentor, I am a student. I am art. I am Identity 2011.

“Open Your ‘I’”

“I’ve grown certain that the root of all fear is that we’ve been forced to deny who we are.” Identity 2011 is a project designed not only for the senior status Visual Art students to identify who they are as an artist, but to also help provide troubled youth within our own community high school, Summit High, with the opportunity to work with artists to discover their own identity.

We as artists and students will display not only our own artwork, but the artwork created by the troubled youth in a professional, “gallery stroll”. An unprecedented attendance for Identity 2011 will be sure to gather attention not only to historic downtown Provo area, but more importantly to art as well.

As you stroll through the gallery of works, listen to the engaging tunes of the band, “Holy Water Buffalo”, appreciate the talent of local artists, and enjoy the night life of Historic Downtown Provo. We as students have been encouraged to “open our ‘I’” and discover who we truly are. We hope that the artwork displayed will not only display our talents, but our personalities as well. So, please, come and enjoy a night of art, entertainment and discovery. “Open your ‘I’” and be identified!
