This year seven schools participated in the program: Highland High, East High, Skyline High, Horizon te School, Salt Lake Lutheran High School, Grace Baptist School, and Churchill Junior High. This program integrates the visual and literary arts by utilizing creative writing in the Museum. The program begins with a classroom presentation by a Museum docent. It introduces the student to exploriing and writing about art. This is followed by a visit to the Museum where the student looks at the art and takes notes on those pieces which inspire them. The students return to the classroom where they write a piece of creative writing inspired by a work from the Museum. The class selects 3 works from their classroom. The works chosen are displayed in the Museum and published in a booklet. An open house for the students and their families was held in the Museum on May 13.
