Foolin' Around Provo Opening Night!

Tonight at 7 pm will be the opening reception for the Foolin' Around Provo Art Exhibit. It is part of the Provo Gallery Stroll, and we would love to have as many people as possible come and see everything downtown Provo has to offer (not just us).

As a reminder, the exhibit is located in Provo Town Square, off of center street and next to Comedy Sportz. Our exhibit is in a hallway inside next to Spicy Corea and Danbury's Barbershop. You should be able to find it pretty quickly.

We hope to see you there!

DVA Art Party

Show up. Plan art. Feel cool. Need we say more?

Come to the kickoff party next Thursday to learn more!

BYU Students Win Society of Illustrators Student Competition!

The Society of Illustrators just announced their winners for this year's Student Scholarship competition. If you don't know what the SOI is just think of it as a the Screen Actors Guild for Illustrators. The Student Scholarship Competition is a way for the SOI to recognize up and coming talent.

This year we got two students in! The winners are:

Elisabeth Pulido: A Lack of Practice

Tyler Carter: Crisium

BYU did really well, especially since the competition this year was very steep. Although other schools had several pieces accepted, BYU has one of the highest ratios of winning entries to number of students in the program. We held our own against schools with 3,000+ art students.

You can check out all of the winners here.

Congrats to Liz and Tyler and thanks to everyone who entered!
