Address: 272 West 400 North, Lindon, UT 84042 The Bela Gallery’s mission is to educate and inspire the young, the old, the rich and the poor by having the work of great and seasoned artists as well as the young and learning artist. Therefore, our goal is to offer classes taught by accomplished artists in many mediums to students of all ages and skill: to hang in our gallery the work of the teachers and the students. We desire to present in our gallery the works of those who remember those first years of creation; artists who have the desire to be a model to those still in the seed stage, or maybe in bud form about to blossom. We are seeking accomplished successful artists that want to help others to grow: artists willing to give up a Saturday once or twice a year and do their creating in our gallery while others watch their creative style as they bring forth something “good”. We desire to instill in the creator and the observer a mutual appreciation for one another. I’ve been told that we don’t have a very good recipe for success; that 90% of new galleries fail, that the ones who succeed have an already established area with a lot of traffic flow and known and successful artists. At present we have neither. What we do have is a beautiful building and two established and committed artists. However, this is not enough. We need a greater variety of medium styles so we are putting out this call for established and great artists whose work is “good” who are willing to take a chance on a new gallery with a different model, a director with minimal experience, but a lot of tenacity and a strong belief in the willingness of the “successful’ and “well established” to want to nurture and help the “beginners. Do you fit in that category? We plan to “create” traffic flow and establish Bela Gallery as a “destination” point. Would you like to take that trip with us? If you fit in the above category and want to make that trip call 801-623-8151 and ask for Carolyn. My personal email address is
