Springville Museum of Art

So we went to Springville today and visited the Museum of Art which happens to be the oldest art museum in Utah. They have a few exhibits going on. The Lincoln exhibit, the Russian art of the Soviet era exhibit and the Utah High School Student Art Showcase. We walked through all three exhibits, and they were all very cool but, the High School Art exhibit was the best. There are some amazing artists out there. It was really refreshing to me to see that most of the pieces were hand drawn or painted or scratched or shot with a camera. Digital media was not really represented. The High School exhibit is going on until March 27, everyone should check it out, it's free too. Give your selves some culture and go.

Was there anything about when then PowerPoint clipart exhibit will be coming?

What do you mean when you said some of the pieces where "scratched"?
