The Salt Lake Art Museum is dedicated to celebrating Utah’s world-class artists, from historical masters to today’s visionary creators. As the first new fine art museum in the State’s capital since 1983, we aim to bridge the gap between Utah’s thriving artistic community—home to more fine artists per capita than anywhere else in the nation—and its limited number of art museums.
Housed in the historic Temple B’nai Israel, a landmark built in 1890 to serve Salt Lake City’s Jewish community, the museum provides a dynamic space for exhibitions, lectures, competitions, and educational programs. Through regular retrospective exhibitions on both historic and contemporary artists, we honor Utah’s artistic legacy while fostering the talents that will shape its future.
