Opportunities Beyond
the Exhibition
The Statewide Annual isn't just an exhibition — it’s an invitation for collectors, curators, and art lovers to discover and support Utah’s rising stars. Gallerists and collectors are encouraged to visit the exhibition and connect with the talent on view.
Supporters are invited to invest directly in the future of the arts by purchasing works from the exhibition. Proceeds not only benefit the artists but also sustain BDAC’s mission to nurture creativity throughout our community.
Connecting Artists, Collectors, and the Community
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.
