The Bountiful Davis Art Center is proud to present the annual Davis School District Student Art Show, opening April 10, 2026. This juried exhibition celebrates the creativity, skill, and artistic voice of middle school and high school students from across Davis School District.

This year, the response was remarkable, with more than 550 submissions received. From that impressive pool, BDAC curated 145 standout works that reflect the depth of talent, imagination, and dedication of student artists across the district. Together, these selected pieces offer an inspiring glimpse into the future of Utah’s creative community—especially here in Davis County.

We are honored to recognize Jaxsen M. Layton, BDAC’s 2026 juror, as this year’s guest juror. Layton is a Utah-based artist whose professional practice and commitment to mentorship brought thoughtful care and artistic insight to the selection process. We are deeply grateful for the time, attention, and encouragement he offered to these emerging artists.

We also extend sincere thanks to Mitch Hall, Fine Arts Supervisor for Davis School District, for his support of arts education and for helping make opportunities like this exhibition possible for young artists throughout the district.

We are honored to announce the winners of the Davis School District show in each catagory.
