Remembering the Great Things of God

Remembering the Great Things of God

In this exhibition of the Eighth International Art Competition: Remembering the Great Things of God, held in 2009, the artists have portrayed diverse subjects and themes that cover the range of Latter-day Saint experience—including the Church, family and personal history, the scriptures, gospel teachings, individuals applying religious values in their lives, ancient and modern prophets, and the Savior. The art varies widely in style, media, content, and purpose, but there is a unity that springs from the beliefs held in common by these artists, who are all members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Heartfelt messages are expressed honoring the heritage of faithfulness shared by Latter-day Saints everywhere and their love of God and the Savior. Altogether, this artwork truly testifies of the great things of God.
