Amazing volunteers, staff and artists carry out the programs and mission of Bountiful/Davis Art Center. This is evidenced by a concerted effort by several people preparing for the upcoming Holiday Show.
Jane Joy, Scott Durrant
(BDAC Board Member), Joshua Blackwelder and Brenda Williams
(BDAC staff) had a jovial time creating snowflakes for the BDAC 'Artistree' (in background). I kept hearing raucous laughter from my office while they were doing this so I
"sprang to my feet to see what was the matter!". They were just having fun and being creative. The tree is now full of these unique snowflakes plus 4" x 4" handmade ornaments, with a
"Twas the Night Before Christmas theme". These have been created by participating artists and are for sale for only $10.
I am so gratified that people enjoy being involved at BDAC. I love seeing lots of people working together to accomplish a BDAC project. I couldn't do my job without this support. I encourage anyone who wants to be involved with a creative, fun bunch of people to join us at BDAC by volunteering, becoming a member or participating as an artist. There is always something wonderful going on at BDAC.

The BDAC Holiday Show opens November 18 with a 'First Look' preview, open to members, at 6pm. This will give people a chance to see the art before it is open to the general public at 7pm. If you are not a member, please consider joining the BDAC family at 'First Look' that evening. It's a great way to support the programs of Bountiful/Davis Art Center.
Here are a few of the ornaments on the 'Artistree'.....Seriously, only $10 for these little treasures? The 2011 Holiday Show artists are fabulous - so many creative ideas in working with this theme! Scott Durrant, BDAC Board Member and longtime Designer created the 'Artistree' this year out of Dogwood twigs from his yard.
