We Are All Water

On View: March 9 – June 22, 2023  
Location: Crescent Gallery, Utah Cultural Celebration Center  
Free Admission, Monday-Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Additional hours during Community First Fridays
Opening Reception with artists is Thursday, March 9, from 6 to 8 p.m. 

The STEM Community Alliance Program (STEMCAP) provides STEM enrichment opportunities to Youth-In-Custody across Northern Utah. YIC students worked with STEMCAP to think creatively about water as a unifying element, considering how water issues here in Utah affect whole communities.  

​This exhibition consists of a collectively tie-dyed cloth, representing the Jordan river, and individual self-portraits that express aspects of each student's identity and their connection to water. 
​
The STEM Community Alliance Program (STEMCAP) is a collaborative effort between the University of Utah and the Utah State Board of Education. The program, founded in 2016, provides STEM enrichment opportunities to Youth-In-Custody. On average, 126 youth are detained in juvenile detention centers or long-term secure care facilities on any given day in Utah. An additional 128 youths receive early intervention services daily. In 2021, 5,871 youths were served. The majority of the student artists in this show reside at Salt Lake Valley Youth Center in either the detention or the residential programs, though several students commute for the Day Skills Intervention Program. STEMCAP is proud to present the artwork of these students. 

​YIC students worked with STEMCAP to think creatively about water as a unifying element; a finite resource that connects all living things. Students considered the water issues here in Utah and how waterways affect whole communities. STEMCAP workshops focusing on drought, climate change, pollution and the drying of the Great Salt Lake informed their artwork. This exhibition consists of a collectively tie-dyed cloth shaped like the Jordan River, individual self-portraits that express aspects of each students' identity and their connection to water.
