Shad's first major exhibit!

Last Thursday we received an E-mail confirming that Shad's painting got into the international art exhibit at the Church History Museum in Salt Lake City! For those of you who may not know what the Church History Museum is, it is a large museum that has works of art as well as historical artifacts that document the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It is across the street from temple square in the center of Salt Lake City and people come from all over to visit this museum. 

Every 3 years they accept entries from all over the world into a competition to be selected to be in their exhibit. The theme for this year's exhibit is "Make known His wonderful works." They look for pieces that are different and that display the theme chosen for the year. Shad has entered in past year's competitions and not been accepted, but this year they asked to have an "in person" look at his painting and they accepted it into the exhibit. They had over 1000 entries from all over the world and only select a few to put into the exhibit.

It will be displayed at the museum from March 16th to October 14th. His painting may also be seen in future publications of the Liahona, Ensign magazines, and the Church News. So, keep your eyes out for his name and go and visit the museum to see it in person! This is such a HUGE accomplishment and I am so proud of him!
