News and Information from Al Young Studios

New blogs created for Al Young Studios

by Al R. Young

Al Young Studios announces its creation of two blogs:

Al Young Studios at alyoungstudios.blogspot.com

The Storybook Home at storybookhomejournal.blogspot.com

The Studios blog provides behind-the-scenes coverage of studio projects, as well as posts presented in the spirit of sharing ideas that might be helpful in setting up and maintaining an art studio.

The Storybook Home blog is for the community of interest in The Storybook Home Journal™: "There's so much that goes into a storybook life, and so many photos, recipes, ideas, and tips that never make it into the pages of The Storybook Home Journal™, that we decided a blog would be the perfect medium to fill in the blanks for our subscribers, and anyone else interested in 'stepping into the story.'"

Press releases will continue to be posted to the main Al Young Studios site.

For more information, please contact Al R. Young at Al Young Studios.

Al Young receives viewer's choice award

by Al R. Young

The Mother of All Living, by Al Young, is one of three artworks to receive a viewer's choice award at the Eighth International Art Competition. The award comes after five months in which exhibit patrons cast 13,000 votes for their favorite artworks from among the 197 on display at the LDS Conference Center in Salt Lake City. (See "Visitors choose favorite art at the Church History Museum").

Works included in this year's juried exhibition were selected from among 1,149 entries from Latter-day Saint artists around the world. The exhibit closes Oct. 11th, but remains accessible on the Museum's web page.

The competition is 22 years old, and in 1987 Al was among artists featured in the first exhibition. His finely crafted pencil drawing, The St. George Temple, was selected that year from among 1,031 entries.
