Exploring Diverse Perspectives, by SL Arts Academy Students

Salt Lake City, UT - Salt Lake City Public Library Main Branch

Artwork by Salt Lake Arts Academy Students in Grades 7–8 • Exhibit runs from April 22–May 19. Artists' Statement Salt Lake Arts Academy students are encouraged to explore their world through many different lenses, across subjects. In these pieces our Visual Arts students in Grades 7-8 express how they see and understand their world: in their own lives, in school and in our larger community. We asked our students to reflect on what is important to them and how they might communicate an idea through their own artistic creations. Salt Lake Arts Academy is a free public charter school in downtown Salt Lake City, serving 408 students in grades five through eight. Admission is by Lottery, and is open to all students in Utah. Learn more about us at www.slarts.org. For inspiration, students traveled to The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art to see and learn about As the Lake Fades. Our students also traveled to The City Library to observe and reflect about Reinventing Portraits-paintings from Utah’s Prison Education Program. After discussion and idea sharing, students had their choice of subject and materials to create the pieces in this exhibit, expressing their own ideas about what they see important and relevant in their surroundings. With this experience students have had the opportunity to develop new skills, build on old ones, learn about artists of the past and present and be inspired by what artists are doing in our community. Students will also be exploring different perspectives of themselves, our community and the environment. Artists' Bio Visual Art students in seventh and eighth grade at Salt Lake Arts Academy

Comedy Church: Heaven

Salt Lake City, UT - Urban Lounge

Comedy Church is hosted by Greg Kyte and Adam Broud. Both of them used to be insanely religious people but are now faithless and destined to burn in hell. In the long term, it’s kind of a bummer. But in the short term, it makes for a pretty good comedy show. Each Comedy Church show features new comedians as well as religious topics. Comedy Church takes an agnostic stance towards faith. Although Adam and Greg are atheists, they’re not the a-hole type. For instance, interviews focus on comedically learning about guests’ experiences rather than trying to find “gotcha” moments regarding religion. To emphasize this, past guests have included people of diverse backgrounds and members of various faiths.
