DAVIS ARTS COUNCIL GALLERY

"You know...that a blank wall is an appalling thing to look at. The wall of a museum – a canvas – a piece of film – or a guy sitting in front of a typewriter. Then, you start out to do something – that vague thing called creation. The beginning strikes awe within you."

   - Edward Steichen

After more than 30 years of bringing the performing arts to Davis County, the Davis Arts Council is creating something – a premier art gallery! A blank wall has been found!

The state-of-the-art Davis Conference Center, situated in the heart of Layton City’s commercial district, will be the home of this new gallery. Every Davis County resident, along with thousands of conference-goers, will have the opportunity to experience free art exhibitions featuring local artists.

We need your help! The final piece of the puzzle is the installation of higher-grade lighting to properly showcase the artwork. This improvement will cost between $5,000 and $8,000. Individual donors or companies donating $1,000 (or more) to this new Davis Arts Council – Davis Conference Center partnership will have their names engraved on a permanent plaque placed on the exhibition wall.

Be a part of creating something that will, in these challenging economic times, truly support local artists and inspire our community. Please consider a tax-deductible contribution to the Davis Arts Council to assist us in showcasing local visual artists. For further information or questions, call 801-546-8575 or email kirt@davisarts.org.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at our first opening!
