Holiday art show and sale set

For three decades Bountiful/Davis Art Center has been offering original handmade art in its galleries during the holiday season. A seasonal favorite since 1974, this year's Annual Holiday Show & Sale features the works of Utah's most creative artists and craftsmen. "More than one hundred artists will be represented and the variety and selection will be endless," says Arley G. Curtz, BDAC director.

The exhibition which runs through Dec. 23, opened today with a public reception from 7-9 p.m. that features art, hors d'oeuvres and entertainment. BDAC members, guests and participating artists are invited to a "First Look" preview of the exhibition beginning at 6 p.m.

"This is a wonderful opportunity," says Curtz, "to find that special gift of an original work of art." The galleries will be filled to overflowing with oil paintings, pastels, photography, watercolors, ceramics and jewelry, all priced under $500 and as low as $50. Holiday shoppers will be able to take their gifts home immediately. Replacements by the artists mean that the galleries will have an ever-changing selection throughout the duration of the show. BDAC members will receive a 10 percent discount on purchases. Proceeds from the sale will benefit Utah artists and the art center.
