History: In 1955 the Davis family moved to Pocatello, where John became the chairman of the Idaho State University Department of Art. He served in that position for fifteen years. John Davis taught drawing, painting, sculpture, art education and anatomy at Idaho State University. Two of his large murals are still displayed on campus, one in the Student Union Building, and another in Reed Gymnasium. The ISU Fine Arts Building was completed in 1965 and the major art gallery was named the John B. Davis Gallery after his death in 1970.
The John B. Davis Gallery is located in the Fine Arts Building (No.11) on the lower level across from Goranson Hall. The Gallery Hours are Monday to Friday from 10:00a.m. to 4:00p.m. (The gallery is closed during the day of the opening reception.)
