ARTIST CALL - State Wide Emerging Artists' Annual

Each year, BDAC invites a guest juror—a respected professional from the art world, such as a practicing artist, curator, gallerist, or arts administrator—to select the artists featured in the Statewide Emerging Artist Annual. This juror brings both expertise and industry insight, helping to ensure a thoughtful, discerning selection process. Just as importantly, the juror provides a valuable point of connection between early-career artists and the broader professional arts community—opening pathways to future exhibitions, representation, and career advancement.

This year's juror is Christopher Lynn.

Participation in the Statewide Emerging Artist Annual opens doors beyond the exhibition itself. In addition to juror-selected recognition, the Best in Show artist will be awarded a solo exhibition at BDAC in the following calendar year—a significant opportunity to further develop and showcase their work.

Through the Statewide Annual, BDAC strengthens its commitment to building a thriving, interconnected arts ecosystem across the state. By championing early-career artists, we help ensure that Utah’s creative future is bold, diverse, and full of promise. This exhibition is both a celebration of emerging talent and a call to invest in the next generation of cultural voices.

This competitive exhibition has a $20 application fee, which helps cover the administrative and curatorial costs of organizing this annual showcase—including compensation for our guest juror and the prizes for the artists. As a nonprofit, these fees allow us to continue offering meaningful opportunities for emerging artists across the state while maintaining a high standard of exhibition quality.

ARTIST CALL - All teaching artists

Bountiful Davis Art Center (BDAC) invites artists from across Utah whose practices extend into teaching, mentorship, and creative instruction to submit up to five artworks for the inaugural Educators Exhibition, on view September–November 2026.

Presented alongside the Statewide Emerging Artists’ Annual (SWEAA), the exhibition considers artistic practice as a continuum—connecting established artists with those still emerging and highlighting the relationships that shape creative work across the state.

We seek innovative, diverse, and compelling work in all media and at all career stages. Artists working in painting, sculpture, photography, installation, digital art, performance, fiber, mixed media, and beyond are encouraged to apply.

The exhibition will be presented in BDAC’s Underground Gallery, a space dedicated to community-based projects, and will coincide with our Statewide Emerging Artists Annual.

Your submission fee helps support our nonprofit mission and sustains BDAC as a space where artists can exhibit, connect, and thrive.

This is a juried show and there will be an awards ceremony during the opening reception on September 11, 2026. The juror for this show is Sara Luna, one of our recent Artists-in-Residence.

ARTIST HIGHLIGHT - BIANCA VELASQUEZ

Survival Instincts addresses nature’s brutality through six beadwork pieces displaying the parallels between selected bugs and the human condition. Starting with sketches, then precise bead mapping, each artwork is painstakingly built bead by bead, intended to mirror the raw tension between delicate craft and the carnal urge for survival. These bugs and insects’ visceral processes of reproduction and evolution hit hard against human stories of love, power, and control.

From the scorpion’s deadly mating ritual to the damselfly’s breakout flight, the show strips down the messy, violent, and beautiful side of survival. Influenced by feminist thought and power dynamics, these works expose how unconscious steps toward survival inform our deep and darker motivations.
By bead-mapping these concepts into aesthetically pleasing and glistening walls of beadwork, Survival Instincts proves that beauty and brutality aren’t opposites but two sides of the same coin.

Come in today to see these and others on display!

In celebration of America 250, the Bountiful Davis Art Center invites artists, sketchers, and nature lovers of all ages and experience levels to participate in this year’s outdoor art event in Mueller Park Canyon.

Inspired by the tradition of painting “in the open air,” this relaxed and flexible event encourages participants to spend time outdoors observing, sketching, painting, photographing, and responding to the landscape in their own way. Whether you create a finished painting, a quick study, or simply gather inspiration, all approaches are welcome.

This event is designed to be welcoming and accessible for both experienced plein air artists and first-time participants. Sketchbooks, watercolor kits, lightweight materials, and casual studies are all encouraged. Every registered participant will have the opportunity to exhibit one artwork in BDAC’s Underground Gallery as part of the final exhibition.

Bring a friend, enjoy the canyon, and spend time creating in the fresh air!
