June 1, 2024                                                                                                              For Immediate Release

 

Dana Worley, a glass artist in North Logan, has been named as one of the Utah Division of Arts and Museums’ 2024 Utah Artist Fellowship recipients. The annual fellowship awards are designed to recognize the careers of Utah artists demonstrating exceptional creativity in their fields. Worley is one of 15 artists selected for the award, which is eligible to artists in the fields of Design Arts, Performance Arts, and Visual Arts.

​

“While this award recognizes the creativity of an artist, consideration is also given to the artist’s influence in the arts community,” Worley explains. Dana was a founding member of the Artists’ Gallery in downtown Logan, acting as its first Vice Chair and later as Chair. She is a member of the Glass Art Guild of Utah, where she has held positions as Web Design Chair and Education Chair. Along with other local artists, Dana organizes the Cache Studio Art Tour, which is held twice annually and is now in its third year. Dana also shares her creativity by teaching, and for the last three years has taught residents  at Terrace Grove Assisted Living through the State’s Creative Aging program.

​

The Utah Division of Arts and Museums, which celebrates its 125th anniversary this year, was founded to support creative individuals and arts organizations across the state in an effort to enhance Utahns’ quality of life through the arts and cultural opportunities. Through their fellowships, they seek to support professional and committed individual artists reaching pivotal moments in their artistic practices and encourage their career advancement and growth.
