At Bountiful Davis Art Center (BDAC), we’re passionate about creating accessible and inspiring experiences for students, educators, and families. Whether you’re a teacher looking for meaningful ways to engage your students or a family seeking creative activities, BDAC has something for everyone. With four gallery spaces featuring rotating exhibitions and a fully equipped education center with a ceramics studio and kiln, our space is designed to bring art to life for all ages.
Exhibition Tours
Make your visit more interactive with a free, guided gallery tour led by a trained museum educator. Perfect for groups of 10 or more, these 30- to 45-minute tours provide an engaging way to explore our exhibitions while learning about the artists, techniques, and ideas behind the work. Each tour is tailored to your group’s needs and interests, encouraging observation, discussion, and connection.
Want to guide your own group? Self-guided tours for school groups are also welcome—just contact us in advance to avoid scheduling conflicts. To book a tour, email kaye@bdac.org with your group details and two potential dates. Requests must be submitted at least two weeks in advance.
