ART IS 100: Celebrating 100 years of collecting art on the University of Utah Campus

In 1914 the University of Utah opened its first art gallery in the Park Building. This galleries collection set the foundation for the Utah Museum of Fine Arts comprehensive collection. This year the UMFA celebrates Art is 100, a tribute to a century of collecting great art on the University of Utah campus. The Museum is also honoring the generous donors whose support has made these last one hundred years possible.

Over the years people like you have made it possible for the Museum to collect, exhibit, interpret, and preserve its collection. The UMFA is the only visual arts institution in the state with an encyclopedic collection, containing over 19,000 objects from around the world. These artworks date from antiquity to the present. In addition to presenting world-class art, the Museum has a multitude of engaging educational programs, designed to spark dialogue and discovery.
