99th Annual Spring Salon Exhibit

The Spring Salon was first held in 1922. It was started by students and teachers at Springville High School who wanted to exhibit and promote original artwork. The salon has been held annually since that time except during World War II, when fuel and other goods were rationed nationwide. The Springville Museum of Art continues the tradition to this day.

This exhibition is a juried competition that showcases the diversity and quality of contemporary Utah art, and the museum invites all artists in Utah to participate in each salon.

This year’s Salon will be held April 26 through July 1 at the Springville Museum of Art, located at 126 E. 400 South in Springville. For more information, visit smofa.org.
