Holiday Show Review

I attended the opening for Bountiful/Davis Art Center’s Annual Holiday Show last Friday night and had a great time! Lots of galleries and art centers host holiday shows this time of year. If you haven’t been to one before, these type of shows are less about holiday-themed work and more about small, affordably priced pieces. (Because who, really, wants a painting of Santa Claus?) Bountiful’s show this year features lots and lots of small landscapes and an assortment of other styles. I’ve included several shots of the show, but if you want to see it in person, it runs through December 23rd. Regular gallery hours are Tuesday-Friday 10 am-6 pm and Saturdays 2-5 pm.

2012 BDAC Statewide Competition
If you’re looking for a quiet time to view some art, I think I’d have to recommend Thursday afternoons.

Initially my daughter was just in it for the promised-lunch-at-McDonald’s-afterwards, but [...]
