Coloring a Brighter Future

Friends of the Children - Utah invites you to Coloring a Brighter Future! This inspiring event brings together artwork generously donated by local professional artists, showcased alongside original pieces created by the youth we serve — a vibrant celebration of creativity, connection, and purpose. Enjoy appetizers and drinks while you browse a collection of moving art pieces across a variety of mediums. It's a chance to learn about the artists behind the work, get to know our youth through their art, and connect with the people committed to creating brighter futures — seeing firsthand the impact Friends - Utah is making in our community.

Proceeds from art purchases and donations directly support Friends - Utah's mission to break cycles of intergenerational poverty through the relationships with consistent, caring professional mentors we call 'Friends.' We commit to walk alongside our youth from kindergarten through high school graduation — a 12+ year commitment proven to create transformational, lasting change for children facing the greatest adversity.
