Capitol Art Exhibit
Please visit the Capitol's 4th floor
featuring the beautiful exhibition,
20 Works from the State
Fine Art Collection
On view through August
5
On the
closing day of the 3rd Utah Legislature on March 9, 1899, Senate Bill
89 sponsored by Representative Alice Merrill Horne was passed to create the Utah
Art Institute (now known as the Utah Division of Arts and Museums) as the first
state-sponsored arts organization in the United States.
The
twenty artworks displayed here on the 4th floor of the Utah State Capitol are selected works from the
State Fine Art Collection initiated by Representative Alice Merrill Horne’s
vision. These artworks, spanning 123
years of Utah artists and their work, honor the
directive to develop and preserve the arts and artists in Utah.
