The opening reception will include a screening of the short documentary Days of Waiting, a reading by poet Lawson Inada, recognition of survivors and descendants of the internment and an ikebana arrangement by Theresa Sueoka.

Rio Gallery Hosting Topaz Art Exhibit
Topaz: Artists in Internment exhibit at the Rio Gallery Friday, Jan. 13 – Feb. 10, 2012
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Arts & Museums will open the traveling exhibit Topaz: Artists in Internment Their Visual Work and Words Jan. 13 at the Rio Gallery. A public reception will be held Friday, Jan. 20, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. during the Salt Lake Gallery Stroll. There will be a screening of the short documentary Days of Waiting, poetry reading by former Oregon poet laureate Lawson Inada, and an opportunity to honor descendants and survivors of the internment experience. The exhibit will continue until Feb. 10 during state office hours, which are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. The Rio Gallery is located at 300 S. Rio Grande Street (455 West) in Salt Lake City.
Topaz: Artists in Internment will feature artworks created during internment at the Topaz War Relocation Center near Delta, Utah, on loan from the Topaz Museum. Artwork by Chiura Obata, Setsu Nagata Kanehara, Charles Erabu Mikami, Miné Okubo, Thomas Ryosaku Matsuoka, Yajiro Okamoto, Kenji Utsumi and Kaneo Kido will be shown alongside the poetry of Lawson Inada. Inada was interned with his parents in camps in Fresno, Arkansas and Colorado, and was Oregon’s poet laureate from 2006 to 2010.
“We are pleased to launch the traveling exhibit Topaz: Artists in Internment,” said Margaret Hunt, Director of Utah Arts & Museums. “These rarely seen works exemplify the triumph of the creative spirit over adversity and the ability of art to provide solace and opportunity for self-expression. We are particularly pleased to have the opportunity to take the work to northern California, where many internees returned after the war, and where many of their children and grandchildren live today.”
A series of special activities will be held in conjunction with Topaz: Artists in Internment including three film screenings. At the opening reception at the Rio Gallery Jan. 20, Days of Waiting will be shown. This is a short documentary about the experience of Estelle Peck Ishigo, a Caucasian who followed her Japanese American husband into an internment camp. Later in the exhibit two films will be shown at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art at 20 South West Temple. Unfinished Business, to be shown February 2, tells the story of three young Japanese American dissenters. Lawson Inada will return to Utah to participate in a discussion following the screening of Unfinished Business. American Pastime, to be shown February 3, is a fictional account set against the backdrop of an internment experience, which dramatizes the establishment of an in-camp baseball league. Lawson Inada will also travel to Utah State University in Logan Jan. 19 for a reading and discussion.
Japanese-Americans interned in the Topaz War Relocation Center in Utah brought with them the skills from their interrupted lives. Among their number was University of California-Berkeley art instructor Chiura Obata who founded an art school at Topaz that grew to 16 instructors teaching 23 subjects to over 600 students.
Over a hundred thousand Japanese-Americans were held in ten remote camps in the 1940s. These Americans were not convicted or charged with any crime, yet were incarcerated for up to four years in prison camps surrounded by barbed wire and armed guards.
The exhibited artworks are collected and cared for by the Topaz Museum, a non-profit, volunteer organization whose purpose is to preserve the history of Topaz.
The traveling exhibit is made possible by funding from the Western States Arts Federation, Utah Arts & Museums, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Memo to Manti Citizens
Throughout the winter, Manti City informs residents if they have experienced frozen water lines or water meters in the past or if they have a new water meter installation, it may be wise to leave a small stream of water running when temperatures drop to 15 degrees or lower.
When temperatures fall below this threshold, particularly when the temperature becomes sub-zero, both water meters with a history of having freezing problems in the past and new installations, where the ground is not compacted, may freeze.

Utah Arts and Museums Accepting Online Applications
Utah Arts & Museums Announces Arts Education Grants
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Arts & Museums is now accepting online applications for arts education grants for the 2012-13 school year. The due date for submitting applications is 5 p.m. on March 1, 2012.
There are two arts education grants. The first is for teacher-initiated projects, which provide funding for teachers to gain skills in an artistic discipline of their choice. The second is for grants to schools and school districts, which offer either an artist-in-residence, which provides schools with funds to bring an artist into a school for 40 hours of instruction, or arts education projects, which provide funds for a comprehensive project using the services of artists or artistic companies.
“Arts education grants are a valuable aid for teachers and schools who seek to provide high-quality arts learning to their students,” said Margaret Hunt, Director of Utah Arts & Museums. “We encourage schools from throughout the state to apply for this vital funding opportunity.”
The grant guidelines can be accessed by visiting artsandmuseums.utah.gov and clicking on “Funding," then "Grants." The grant applications can be found online at utahdcc.force.com/portal. For assistance with the application process, please contact Jean Tokuda Irwin at jirwin@utah.gov, Alyssa Hickman Grove at agrove@utah.gov or Katie Woslager at kwoslager@utah.gov

Poetry Out Loud
Utah Arts & Museums Announces 2012 Poetry Out Loud Competition
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Utah Arts & Museums invites high school teachers and students across the state to participate in Poetry Out Loud, the national poetry recitation contest. Poetry Out Loud classroom contests take place throughout the winter, and the Utah State Finals will be held on March 13. For more information, visit artsandmuseums.utah.gov.
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Arts & Museums invites high school teachers and students across the state to participate in Poetry Out Loud, the national poetry recitation contest. Poetry Out Loud encourages youth to learn about great poetry through memorization and recitation. This program helps students master public-speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about their literary heritage.
Since its inception in 2006, tens of thousands of students have enjoyed competing in Poetry Out Loud. The competition was designed so teachers can easily implement this “poetry bee” in the classroom. Poetry Out Loud awards more than $100,000 in prizes to students and schools at the state and national levels, and the national winner receives a $20,000 scholarship. Utah has had three finalists in the top ten. One finalist received a $5,000 scholarship award and was contacted by noted Beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti to congratulate her on her recitation of his poem, I Am Waiting.
“Teachers love the program because it fits well into their literature curriculum, creates an entry point for students to appreciate poetry, strengthens community in the classroom, and reaches students whom they’ve never thought would take to poetry,” said Margaret Hunt, Director of Utah Arts & Museums.
A partnership between the National Endowment for the Arts, the Poetry Foundation, and state arts agencies nationwide, Poetry Out Loud satisfies most of the National Council for Teachers of English (NCTE) English Language Arts Standards. In addition to memorizing and performing great poems, students have the opportunity to discuss poetry and — if the teacher wishes to use the supplemental lesson plans — to write poetry of their own.
An overview of the program, classroom tools, and model recitations is available online at www.poetryoutloud.org. Teachers may contact Utah Arts & Museums to officially sign up their schools to become part of the competition. An entire school does not have to participate. If teachers have one or two interested students, they can contact Utah Arts & Museums for further details. For more information or to sign up, contact Jean Tokuda Irwin at jirwin@utah.gov or 801.533.5760.
Poetry Out Loud classroom contests and district/regional contests take place throughout the winter, and the Utah State Finals will be held on March 13, 2012. The 2012 Poetry Out Loud National Finals will take place May 13-15, 2012, in Washington, D.C., at the Harman Center for the Arts.
Teachers may also use the Poetry Out Loud curricular materials — free online — if they want to use this great program but do not wish to join the national competition.
For more information, visit Utah Arts & Museums at artsandmuseums.utah.gov. For media inquiries, contact Wendi Hassan at whassan@utah.gov or 801.860.6396.

Applicants may apply for up to $2,000. Arts Project Grants are competitive and matching funds are required.

Applicants are encouraged to go to www.artsandmuseums.utah.gov, click on “Funding” then “Grants” and then the checkbox associated with Arts Project Grants to download specific grant guidelines and requirements.
