Salt Lake Art Center: Well-endowed
The Salt Lake Art Center is cheering the gift of $500,000, an endowment from the estate of Judge Judith Faye Whitmer.

Whitmer, who was a SLAC trustee from 1970 to 1982, graduated from the University of Utah Law School and practiced as an attorney before being appointed as a juvenile-court judge. She also owned the now-defunct Southwest Shop in Salt Lake City's Ninth & Ninth neighborhood, and was on the board of the Sarah Daft Home.

The gift, which was announced at SLAC's annual gala last month, will go into the art center's endowment fund. The center's youth education program ArtWORKS will be renamed in Whitmer's honor.
