About Utah Arts & Museums
At Utah Arts & Museums, we believe that creativity enriches life and transforms communities. Our mission is to elevate the quality of life for Utahns through vibrant arts and cultural experiences. We’re not just a service organization — we aim to be a catalyst for inspiration, offering a wide range of grants and professional development opportunities. Whether you’re a school, local arts agency, organization, community center, performing group, museum, or an individual artist, we’re here to empower your creative journey while we amplify the cultural heartbeat of Utah.
We're 125!
On March 9, 1899, the agency that became the Utah Division of Arts & Museums was founded. That makes 2024 our 125th anniversary! We're delighted to be the first state cultural agency in the nation, and we've spent 125 years supporting creative individuals and cultural organizations across Utah.
