| Artist, Diane Turner whose painting was purchased by Davis County is greeted by Commissioner Louenda Downs |
It has been my pleasure to serve on the Davis County Art Committee under the direction of Davis County Commissioner, Louenda Downs. Commissioner Downs has a vision for growing an art collection in Davis County. I applaud her for that vision and have enjoyed working with her to bring the beginnings of this collection to fruition. In tandem with that goal, the art committee developed an inaugural exhibit to grace the walls of the new building. Artists from all over Utah are participating in the exhibit. Several pieces will be purchased with help from a generous grant from Chevron and money set aside in Davis County for this purpose.
What a boon to the artists and the community by featuring some of Utah's best artists and promoting the arts as such an important part of the new building! The building is located at 61 South Main Street in Farmington. The exhibit is on three floors of the building and will continue for about six months. The exhibit was juried by Connie Borup. Come in to see the exhibit and who won the awards. The new building is also a work of art and will serve Davis County for many years to come.
I am look forward to continuing my work with Commissioner Downs and come January, I will be in close proximity to her as BDAC moves into the Davis County Memorial Courthouse, right next to the new building that houses the Davis County administrative offices and the new library. Thank you Commissioner Downs! You are commended for your vision, passion and dedication to the arts.
