One of the main priorities of the Visual Arts committee is helping spread the joy of art by having local artists share their talents with the community. One way we do this is by sponsoring visual arts contests.
The Visual Arts committee is excited for the following upcoming events:
Sponsor an event!
We are seeking sponsors for future visual arts contests. Sponsorship options include both cash and in-kind donations. As a federally-recognized 501 (c)3 organization, donations to Friends of Herriman may be tax deductible, and we will provide receipts, if asked.
We mainly use donations as prizes for our art contests, as we love giving a gift basket with donations from local businesses and organizations. We may also use donations to help us keep many of our contests free of charge by supporting advertising, venue fees and other costs associated with the art shows.
To find out how you can sponsor an art contest, please fill out the following form.

BeUTAHful Herriman
What I love about living in Herriman is that you don't have to travel far to see the beauty Utah has to offer. This photo taken near The Cove, shows just a small part of the beautiful scenery we get to enjoy here. By Andrea Kopecky. Photography ages 18+
Yellow Fork in the Snow
Yellow Fork was the first trail I took my family on after we moved to Herriman! We've walked and mountain biked along its Scrub Oak shaded paths. You can't truly experience Herriman without taking a hike up Yellow Fork. It's beautiful all year round, but the quiet beauty of it when it's snow covered is magical. By Annie Pack. Canvas/Paper ages 18+

Frozen Moments
It is difficult to describe the place I have lived in for most of my life in just one picture. Herriman is unique in so many ways: the extreme weather, the “Up” house, the Yeti Hunt - but the thing that makes Herriman the most unique, is family. To experience unconditional affection and support from your loved ones is one of the most amazing things life can offer. In my painting, the most important thing I wanted to emphasize was the love within a household. To support, help, and be there for someone, is to be a family: Without it, Herriman would not be the beautiful city it is today. By Lauren Yates. Canvas/Paper ages 13-17
Playing in Herriman
There are lots of things to do in Herriman. By Parker Crowell Canvas/Paper, ages 6-12

Lifting Each Other “UP”
Going along with the name, I figured matched what I feel about our community as a whole, we always try to lift others up. Herriman is also known for the up house attraction so it tied in perfectly for what I was envisioning. By Reyna Shay. Digital Art (no AI), ages 13-17
