Art+Request

As you may know, Olympus High School is scheduled to be rebuilt in order to create a safer, more modern facility to meet the needs of our students. The spirit of Olympus has been formed by the community and the many influential and talented students, faculty, administration and staff who have learned, worked, and played at Olympus over the last fifty eight years. With collaboration, that same Olympus spirit will continue in the new building ensuring and supporting the growth and accomplishments of those to come in the future.

The current Olympus High Art Department hopes to honor the history of our aged school and enhance the halls of our new school with works of art produced by the many talented artists who have ties to Olympus High. Therefore, we have begun the process of contacting community members, teachers, administrators and alumni of Olympus who are artists or know artists who might like to donate an original work of art or perhaps a print to be exhibited in the new school. We would be delighted to display a variety of mediums such as paintings, drawings, illustrations, printmaking, photography, ceramics, graphic designs, sculpture, etc. our sincere effort is not to only recognize the creative accomplishments of our alumni and faculty, but to inspire the hearts and minds of the thousands of students who will enter the classrooms of the new building.

Your donation would be tremendously appreciated and tax deduction documents would be provided on behalf of the Olympus High Education Foundation. In addition, two-dimensional works would be framed and a plaque with your name, the title of your work and associated dates would accompany each work of art. You would also be invited to the open house celebrating your donation and the completion of the new school. For more information, please contact Jeremy Petersen at 358-646-5400 or japetersen1@graniteschools.org or simply bring your donated work to room 127 at Olympus High. Please include your name, contact information, the title of your work, the year you graduated or the years you taught. It would be our honor to have your work on display in the new school. If you are aware of other artists who might be interested in participating, please let us know.

Considering our wonderful Olympus community, we anticipate a great response to our request and are so excited to see an amazing collection of art embellishing the halls of the new Olympus High School. Thank you for your help.

Sincerely, The Olympus Art Department
