It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved member and handyman, Lindy Ballard.

Lindy served the Desert Art Center for several years as our trusted “fix-everything” person. He often came in early to make sure everything was in working order, helping the DAC run smoothly day in and day out. His presence was a constant on campus, and his contributions touched every corner of our space.

Beyond his generosity and dedication, Lindy was a deeply talented artist and musician. He was especially known for his acrylic paintings, creating vivid, chaotic, imaginary “real estate” scenes that were uniquely his own.

Lindy’s spirit, creativity, and kindness will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

The Desert Art Center has established a memorial fund for Lindy’s family. All donations collected will be given directly to his family.

We are currently in contact with Lindy’s family and will share details for a Celebration of Life as soon as they are available.

Below is a video of Lindy from 2021, just before his Featured Artist show at the DAC; a moment that captures his spirit and presence in our community:
