A UVU student’s artwork was rejected from a school exhibition. Here’s how she made sure her work was seen.

Utah Valley University art student Jaya Betts responded to her artwork's rejection from UVU's 2025 Student Art Exhibition by creating a zine titled "Unchosen but Unstoppable: A Manifesto for Artists Who Refuse to Shrink" and distributing 75 copies throughout the Lakemount Museum on the exhibition's opening night. Betts, who had submitted a layered plaster mold called "Crimson Blossoms on a Golden Limb," documented her guerrilla art drop on social media, framing it as a protest against gatekeeping and unequal opportunity in student exhibitions.
