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.
