Seek My Face: Recent Artwork on Scriptural Themes

March 1 through June 2011

9am to 9 pm Weekdays
10am to 7pm Weekends
Church History Museum
45 North West Temple, SLC
Free Admission

The exhibit features twenty-nine American professional artists, all from various backgrounds, but sharing a common religious orientation. All the artists have been invited to create exemplary visual art based on gospel themes-especially of The Lord Jesus Christ. With sincerity and dedication, skilled painters and sculptors have expressed stories from the Bible and The Book of Mormon in new, original pictures. These new and contemporary works share insight into subjects that depict the life and teachings of the Savior.
The artists have all made great efforts to creatively express gospel principles, uniting their testimony and knowledge of the subject, together with artistic gifts. The thoughtful works stem from a project organized by Artist Guild International LLC. Many of the artists have participated in this project to express their testimonies of gospel principles.

Street of a Thousand Blossoms by Gail Tsukiyama

It is Tokyo in 1939. On the Street of a Thousand Blossoms, two orphaned brothers dream of a future firmly rooted in tradition. The older boy, Hiroshi, shows early signs of promise at the national obsession of sumo wrestling, while Kenji is fascinated by the art of Noh theater masks. But as the ripples of war spread to their quiet neighborhood, the brothers must put their dreams on hold—and forge their own paths in a new Japan. Meanwhile, the two young daughters of a renowned sumo master find their lives increasingly intertwined with the fortunes of their father’s star pupil, Hiroshi.

The Whistling Season by Ivan Doig.
Reviewed by Joyce Fife.

This book is a loving lament to the lost way of life of the homesteading prairie farmers and their children who attended a one-room schoolhouse. It is set in rural eastern Montana in the early 1900s and it beautifully addresses that time and place. It is the story of a motherless family of three boys and their widower father. Hiring a housekeeper brings not only cleanliness and harmony to their home, but also a new school teacher - her brother - to the community. The teacher's love of learning and his theatrical style inspire the children in a way they have never known before. The endearing family and beautiful prose make this a very charming look into America's past.

SCERA Center: Showhouse II

Leapin' Lizards! One of the world's best-loved and feel-good family musicals, Annie is a spunky Depression-era orphan determined to find her parents, who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a NYC orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil schemes, befriends President Roosevelt and works her way into the heart of gruff billionaire Oliver Warbucks, along with a lovable mutt named Sandy.

You can “bet your bottom dollar” that this Tony Award-winner for Best Musical will make you believe “the sun will come out tomorrow” with its rags-to-riches story, contagious optimism and a classic musical score including It’s A Hard Knock Life, You’re Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile and more.
