Guiding Principles
At BDAC, our guiding principles are rooted in a commitment to supporting artists while honoring the values of our community. We strive to create a space where creativity and inclusion flourish, ensuring that art inspires connection, respect, and growth for all who engage with it.
Community Standards
Bountiful Davis Art Center reserves the right to refuse a submitted work of art for exhibition or refuse to collect any piece of art it believes does not uphold community values. When necessary, the Board of trustees, in consultation with the Executive Director, may determine if a work is broadly offensive or inappropriate. Additionally, BDAC believes that there is beauty in the undraped human figure when tastefully depicted through art.
​
As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, BDAC does not involve itself in political or religious dialogue or present sides in these areas. However, BDAC honors individual artists' right to tell their stories or express themselves about these topics through their artwork.
DEI Policy
At BDAC, we believe equality is a human right—just like art. We are committed to being a safe and welcoming space for all, including people of all backgrounds, abilities, and identities. Here, everyone is invited to experience the power of art in an environment of respect and inclusion.​
​
We acknowledge that a statement will not correct the issues marginalized groups face. However, BDAC will continue to engage in conversations about how we can constantly move forward and ensure that our community and world will be a better place.
