Artwork Submissions Benefiting Utah Foster Care | St. George

Utah Foster Care is hosting an art show as part of our Color the Town Purple event on Monday, March 30, 2026 in St. George. The art exhibit will feature the work of those involved in any part of the foster care journey. This includes children in care, foster parents, primary families, birth children in foster/adoptive families, adoptive parents, etc. We are accepting submissions from children, youth, and adults of all ages. We would love to feature your artwork!

The St. George Art Festival has generously reserved a section of their event the following weekend (April 3rd - 4th) to showcase some of the artwork featured at our Color the Town Purple event! As part of submitting your artwork for the Color the Town Purple art show, your piece may also be selected for displayed at the St. George Art Festival.

We are primarily requesting 2D visual art forms such as drawings, paintings, photography, mixed media, framed poetry, etc. However, we may be able to accept 3D art such as sculpture or ceramics on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us in advance if you would like to submit 3D art. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate artwork greater than 36" in any dimension or greater than 60 lbs.

Our theme for the art exhibit is Pieces of Me. We invite participants to consider this theme as they create and submit their artwork. While the interpretation of "Pieces of Me" is in no way limited, artwork could include depictions of family(ies) in various forms, sibling relationships, homes, journeys of growth and healing, and more. Artwork must be sensitive to the experiences of others and should not include depictions of violence, substance use, or other graphic imagery.

Your artwork will be returned to you following the event. If you would like, you may donate your artwork to Utah Foster Care, in which case your artwork will be displayed at future Utah Foster Care events to raise awareness and tell the stories of foster care.

Please fill out the following form to submit your work for display. All submissions must adhere to the guidelines outlined and be turned in by March 18, 2026 to any Utah Foster Care office throughout the state.
