Art Gallery in McKay Building Showcases BTS Student Artists

BTS students art can be found not only in school galleries, but in University galleries as well! Home to Brigham Young University’s McKay School of Education is what most people think of when they hear talk of the David O. McKay Building on campus. 

But there is more to it than that, ever since 2019 when the David O. McKay School of Education Children’s Art Gallery opened on the second floor.

According to Doug Allen, who heads up the gallery, and is a BTS professional development partner, the first exhibit was shown with about 20 pieces of work from all different grade levels. The artworks were chosen by Allen and a Beverley Taylor Sorenson arts (BTS Arts) educator in Provo School District.

 “We found the pieces, ordered frames, had a reception in January 2020 and there were so many people that came – grandparents, brothers, sisters, kids. The teacher was there too. The kids were so excited,” he said. “Some of the parents said, ‘I didn’t even know my kids were good at this.’”
