The McKay School of Education is one of the sponsors of the Annual Utah All-State High School Art Show that takes place during February and March. Teenage artists from all over the state submitted their original visual art in different forms, and, after a screening process, many were selected to compete for several awards and scholarships. Utah’s four congressional districts selected award winners representing their districts. The first-place piece from each district will hang in Washington, DC, for a year. A traveling exhibition was also selected from the show and will travel for a year to museums, galleries, libraries, and schools throughout Utah.
