BOUNTIFUL — More than 100 works of art by Utah artists were juried into the Bountiful/Davis Art Center's 2005 statewide exhibition of the 302 entries received in this year's competition.

This is one of the longest-running visual arts competitions in Utah, having been started in 1974. Artists were eligible to submit up to three works in all media. The juror this year was Glen Richards, the traveling exhibition coordinator for the Utah Arts Council's statewide visual arts program.

The winners and the titles of their works are: first place, Adrian Van Suchetelen, Logan, "Loggia Degli Innocenti"; second place, Stephanie Dykes, Salt Lake City, "Cyclical Time Too"; third place, Daryl Erdmann, Salt Lake City, "Element."

Honorable mentions went to Pilar Pobil, Salt Lake City, "Women in the Shadow"; James Olson, Salt Lake City, "August — First Crop"; Sandy Brunvand, Salt Lake City, "Detritus II"; Colleen Parker, Bountiful, "The Color of Evening"; Ed Firmage, Salt Lake City, "Morning Mist"; Cary Henrie, Bountiful, "Arc Rustica"; Greg Ragland, Park City, "Moment: Place 1"; Julie Lucus, Brigham City, "Marie"; Steven K.

The exhibition is on display at the Bountiful/Davis Arts Center, 745 S. Main, through April 1. Admission is free and hours are: Mondays, 5-9 p.m., Tuesdays-Fridays, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and Saturdays, 2-5 p.m.

Richards said the high quality of this year's entries made judging difficult. "I was impressed with the wide range of interesting works that I felt represented the Utah arts community very well." Many good pieces didn't make it in the exhibit."

He said his goal as juror was to showcase the highest quality of work and maintain a cohesive flow and dialog with the pieces. "I looked for artworks that challenge the viewer, but also try to represent the overall feel of the entire body of work submitted."
