Community Art Day

Arts/Entertainment

Bill Albright’s Bear Series III – Teapot is a ceramic sculpture that blends the shape of a teapot with the features of a bear. With its rounded form, bear-like ears, and snout-like spout, the piece turns a familiar object into something unexpected and imaginative. By combining function with creativity, Albright invites us to see everyday things in new and surprising ways, showing how art can be both fun and thoughtful. Inspired by Bill Albright’s Bear Series III – Teapot, this activity lets you turn an ordinary teapot into an extraordinary animal! Start with a paper teapot cutout, then choose from a variety of fun shapes—ears, tails, legs, wings, and more. Use your imagination to mix and match the pieces and create your own teapot creature. Will it be a Teapot Turtle? A Parrot-Pot? A Bear with a handle? There’s no wrong way to create—just have fun and make it yours!

USU Student Short Film Festival 2026

Arts/Entertainment

The Student Short Film Festival invites emerging filmmakers from every discipline to showcase their vision, craft, and originality on the big screen. Open to undergraduate and graduate students from all fields of study—from the sciences and humanities to the arts, engineering, education, and beyond—no prior filmmaking experience is required. Creativity, innovation, and thoughtful storytelling are what matter most. A panel of judges will review submissions and prizes will be awarded for Best in Category and Best in Show. There will also be an Audience Choice Award voted for by attendees at the festival. Whether you are an aspiring director, an experimental media creator, a documentarian, or simply a student with a unique story to tell, this festival offers the perfect platform to share your work with a broader audience. Open to all USU undergraduate and graduate students! The submission deadline is MARCH 27. Use the website below to submit your work.
