Last year's amazing art show!
It's time once again to get ready for the Saratoga Springs North Stake Art Show!  Last spring's show was a huge success, and we are excited to do it again.  The show this year will be April 20th (please note the change in date from previous plans), and we would love to see all kinds of art from every age group in our stake.  Primary and youth are especially encouraged to participate.  We'd love to see drawings, paintings, photography, quilting, sculpture, paper crafts, mixed media, etc. -- if it can be displayed, we'd love to see it.  Our theme this year is "Arise & Shine Forth!"  Submissions should reflect or relate to this theme in some way (but we're really flexible, so don't let that freak you out).

To submit a project for the art show, please download the submission form (see the download link on the right), fill it out, and send it to Tomi Ann Hill at tomiannie@gmail.com.  We'd like to have your submission forms by April 17th so that we can prepare in advance, but we will accept them on the day of the show.  You can bring your piece to the cultural hall in the stake center any time between 1-3:30 p.m. on April 20th, then please plan on collecting it at the end of the show, at 9 p.m. that evening.

This year we are excited to combine our art show with a special musical presentation by every ward in the stake.  Each ward will be providing a musical number -- either the ward choir or some other number, as determined by the ward music chair -- to be part of a special program about the life and Atonement of the Savior.  This is sure to be a special event that will help your family keep the spirit of Easter all month long!  To participate, join your ward choir and talk to the music chair in your ward about what your ward is contributing.

There will be just two group rehearsals for the program: Sunday, April 15th from 6-8 p.m., and Thursday, April 19th, starting at 6 p.m.  The music portion of the program will start at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 20th, so people can come enjoy the art show and see the program in one trip. :)

Please let any of us on the committee know if you have any questions at all.  Our contact info is on the right!
