Mormon Arts Sunday is June 14. I’ll include links to previous posts below, but here’s the gist:
Mormon Arts Sunday was created by Scott Hales as a way for members and wards to recognize the important contribution that arts make to the LDS community. It’s entirely a grass roots effort, which means you should feel free to participate at whatever level you feel comfortable with/have stewardship over. This could include:
- Consuming a work of Mormon art on June 14 as an individual or with family or friends.
- Letting your favorite Mormon artist(s) know that you appreciate their work.
- Wearing maroon/dark red to church and/or another article of clothing or accessory that relates to art and artists.
- Incorporating an excerpt from or work of Mormon art in your lesson or talk for the day.
- Selecting hymns that are by Mormon poets (Eliza Snow, Emma Lou Thayne, Orson F. Whitney, etc.)
- Making creativity/art the topic for sacrament meeting (not something that most of us have influence over, but there are at least two wards that have done so in the past thanks to Theric Jepson and Kent Larsen).
Other ideas are welcome in the comments (and can also be found in the posts below, especially in the comments). Here’s a timeline of Mormon Arts Sunday posts on AMV:

Here’s a new one for your collection: http://thmazing.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-joys-and-glories-of-creation-svithe.html
I have to reluctantly (or maybe not so reluctantly) display my lack of hepness by asking: what does maroon/dark red have to do with support for the arts?
See point 1 under OBSERVANCE in Wm’s June 2014 post, Jonathan.
Ah. I see. Thank you for enlightening me. Clearly I did not explore thoroughly the genealogy of this concept…
