Bountiful, Utah, October 26, 2011– For three decades Bountiful/Davis Art Center (BDAC) has been offering original hand-made 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 artisans. More nearly hundred artists will be represented and the variety and selection will be endless,” says Emma J. Dugal, BDAC director.
The annual Holiday Show is a highly celebrated seasonal tradition of Bountiful/Davis Art Center. Come enjoy the festive air of this exhibit, featuring select works from many of Utah’s finest artists. The BDAC Artists’ Tree will offer 4”x 4” original ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’ paintings by featured artists starting at only $10!
