Vermillion South Dakota Sesquicentennial Celebration

Work continues on this project. Because of my family ties to this city I want to do all I can to present a piece the city will be proud to show. The carved ostrich eggshell for this celebration will be presented in the early part of August. Perhaps I will give a sneak preview of the egg in the next little while. 

Face of Utah Sculpture Update for the 13th of June 2009

This is one of the two carved emu egg shells I submitted to this show. If you want to see the other you will have to go to the Utah Cultural Celebration Center and see it in person. The other photo is of me and the Mayor of West Valley City who was in attendance at the opening reception. I certainly hope everyone will take advantage of this art show. It is FREE!!!

Carved Egg Shell Show at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center Ends Today

Due to the popularity of this exhibit at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center this show was extended for a second month. What an awesome show it was. I am very pleased to have brought such exposure to the Utah Cultural Celebration Center. I heard from many visitors that they had no knowledge of the Center until this show was put in place. We tied the final days of the exhibit to the Fiesta multi-cultural event which was held on the 39th of May. The main reason we tied the two together is the carved ostrich egg which West Valley City commissioned to help commemorate the shared event between our city and Boca del Rio, Vera Cruz, Mexico. Boca del Rio is our sister city. Here are some photos of the egg I carved for the event.

2009 Utah Best of State Winner Brian Baity Studio

The past few months have been filled with great experiences and awards. On Saturday the 30th of May I was in attendance at the Best of State Gala where I sat amongst truly great individuals and companies. It was my great privilege to be a medal winner for my contributions to art and our state.

I wish to thank all those who sponsored this event as well as the many hard workers who put this together. It was a wonderful night.
