Murray City holds an annual exhibition of art created by secondary education art students either residing or attending schools within Murray City boundaries. This competition is generally held in April or May and is open to students grades 7-12. Divisions include junior high grades 7-9 and high school grades 10-12 in the categories of graphics, painting, photography, and ceramics.

Artwork must have been completed in the last two years and is not eligible if it has won an award in a previous Murray City exhibit. Junior high winners receive place ribbons, and high school 1st place winners receive cash prizes.

The 2018 exhibit was held May 8-10 at the entrance to Dillard's in Fashion Place Mall. Thank you to the students who entered their talented art work, to the teachers who helped encourage their students, to the judges, and the volunteers who helped make this Art Show a success!

We had 175 students participating from 4 different schools (Riverview Junior High, Hillcrest Junior High, Murray High, and Cottonwood High), with a total of 241 entries!
