Featured artist Ed Napia is among the dozens of artists whose works will be showcased at Bountiful Summerfest International, an arts and folk-dance festival Friday and Saturday in downtown Bountiful. Napia is a ceramic artist whose elaborate clay vessels and pots reflect his Maori heritage from his youth in New Zealand and his more recent affiliation with the Ute Indian tribe. Napia will demonstrate his artistic process for the public each day during the festival.

The festival will take place along Main Street and at Bountiful City Park, 200 W. 400 North. For more information, contact the Bountiful/Davis Art Center (745 S. Main St.) at 801-292-0367 or visit www.bdac.org/bsi.
