The Museum As we’ve spent the last several years preparing for this important milestone and anniversary, I haven’t been able to stop using the word “magic” to describe it. The story of 100 Spring Salons in Springville, Utah—it’s almost too good to be true.

What other museum can say it exists because of a national art exhibition that high school students started hosting in the 1920s?

Our origin story is unique. It’s not a story of a wealthy benefactor or institution, but rather one of a community of everyday people who valued, supported, and celebrated art. They knew the importance of art and wanted their youth and their visitors to have encounters with and engage with original artworks. They had a vision of their small town—with less than 5,000 people—becoming a true center for the arts. And that is what Springville has become, living up to its name as “Art City.”

In 1903, the community partnered with founding artists Cyrus Dallin and John Hafen who started the Collection through donations of two original artworks, Paul Revere and Mountain Stream. By the 1920s, the students and school were nationally known for their famous art collection and began hosting an Annual Art Exhibit. By the mid1930s, they were so well-known for their art and Annual Salon, that the community— with WPA, City, and private funding—built the students a professional art gallery: a lasting monument to art, right on the high school’s campus. That building is now known as the Springville Museum of Art, and only exists because of the success of the Annual Salon.

Over 100 years later, Springville City and the community of Springville, Utah carries on the students’ legacy and traditions. Our Museum continues to host the Spring Salon, one of the most important regional art competitions in the country.

The Salon started with students but in the last 40 years has transformed to tell the story of Utah artists. The Spring Salon is widely seen as the premier exhibition of Utah art, especially by artists working in representational and academic styles and methods. Utah’s artists are the lifeblood of this Museum.

As you read through this catalog, you will meet some of these dreamers, students, teachers, and artists who made the Salon a reality from the 1920s until today.

In the first few pages, you’ll read messages from key collaborators and points of view. M. Lee Taylor, Springville High School (SHS) class of 1964 and representative of the Springville Historical Society, shares the importance of the Salon to Springville’s local history. Then, the artists currently serving on the Springville Museum of Art Association Board share what the Salon means to Utah’s artists today.

5

The six current SHS students who served on our Salon 100 Student Committee share what they hope for the future of the high school and the Museum.

The catalog is then organized chronologically by decade. You’ll find scrapbook-style pages at the beginning of each decade documenting key moments in the Salon’s history. You’ll see some of the students and learn about their experiences with art. The artwork featured in the Salon 100 exhibition from that decade is then pictured in fullpage illustrations. At the end of the catalog, you’ll find a list of the Salon’s First Place Awards from the 1980s until today. Additional artworks in our current Permanent Collection that were exhibited in past Spring Salons are also listed. We limited our exhibition and catalog to 100 works, but there are nearly 300 pieces in our Collection that exhibited in past Salons. You’ll also find a list of oral history participants, donors, funders, partners, and key contributors. This entire project has been a labor of love with hundreds of collaborators. We can’t thank them all enough for being a part of this historic anniversary.

Throughout this catalog, you’ll find art and photos digitally cut from scans of historic SHS yearbooks.

We are thankful to Nebo School District for giving us permission to use these images. We are also grateful to the Springville Historical Society and Snelson Photo Lab for collaborating with us to get highresolution digital scans of these yearbooks. Thank you to the Conover Family and The Daily Herald for giving us permission to reprint images of historic headlines and articles, especially those from The Springville Herald.

We at the Springville Museum of Art are excited to continue to host the Annual Spring Salon and I personally can’t wait to see what will happen to it in the next 100 years, for as many of those years as I’m around. I am honored to be here for the 100th Annual Spring Salon and to be a small part of this magical story, legacy, and program.

Best, Emily Larsen

and alumnus

At first I was somewhat humbled, and even reluctant, when I was initially approached by the Museum and asked to help gather information and provide contact information to assist with compiling a comprehensive history of the Annual April Art Salon. I was humbled because I am not known as an artist or an aspiring artist, and because my connection with the Museum of Art has mostly been through the informal connection I have with real artists, as well as local lovers of art. I learned a long time ago that you do not have to be an artist in order to appreciate art.

In junior high school, I took the required art classes and enjoyed some of the art projects that we were assigned. In high school, I never took any art classes and I never had to participate in any activities associated with receiving or hanging the art pieces for the Annual Salon, as many of my classmates did. My only interaction with the annual art exhibit, was in English classes, when I was required to peruse the exhibit and write an art theme on the artwork of my own choice. I generally struggled with that requirement, but I found that it did pique my curiosity about the efforts of an artist to transfer their emotions from an idea or a concept, to a virtual visualization on a canvas to be shared with the world, in perpetuity.

r o l y a T e e M. L

I am now extremely grateful for the opportunity to be involved in the actual gathering of information related to the 100th Annual April Salon. By being involved in the Springville Historical Society, and by being very much aware of the history of the Springville High School, I knew that art exhibits were being held in private homes and in public spaces long before the first Springville High School building was even constructed and opened in 1909. The very first April Salon was held in the halls and the Assembly Hall of the old high school buildings, some 15 years before the erection of what is now known as the Springville Museum of Art. I have long been fascinated by the history of the construction of the building itself, as well as the support of the community in the raising of necessary funds and the actual hands-on efforts in making the beautiful floor tiles--of locally obtained and processed clay materials--to be used in the building.

But mostly, I am thankful to the Museum for giving me the opportunity to reconnect and to engage with so many lovely ladies that I know who were the “Art Queens” of their school days.

Helping them to recall, relate, and record their experiences as they represented their classes during the Annual April Art Salons has been a most joyful experience.

As the current artists serving on the Springville Museum of Art Association Board, we were asked to write a short message about what the Salon means to us and to Utah art.

Since its inception in the 1920s, the Spring Salon has stood as a symbol of artistic excellence in Utah, annually attracting both seasoned and emerging artists. The Salon’s opening event is a celebration of artistic achievements where the works displayed foster a strong sense of connection among the accomplished artists in attendance.

For up-and-coming artists, the Spring Salon offers more than just exposure; it’s also an affirmation of their career path and a significant milestone in their professional development. It provides them with a platform for validation and respect from their peers, acting as a catalyst for growth and increasing their visibility in the art community.

Participating in the Salon places emerging artists alongside established ones, spotlighting their work and potential. This opportunity serves as a springboard for future success, encouraging innovation and fostering deeper connections within the art world. The Spring Salon is more than just an event; it’s a celebration of continuous creativity and the profound impact of art.

It is a special opportunity to see work being made today in the same space as important work from the past. It’s a great reminder that the culturally pivotal and beautiful things we value from the past are still being made and will continue to be made.

Being accepted into the Salon signifies becoming part of a supportive and uplifting artistic community, enhancing a sense of belonging and camaraderie. It connects artists to one another and to the wider Utah community, extending their sense of involvement beyond the confines of their studios.

The Salon is fundamental for Utah’s artists. It acts as a cornerstone that nurtures a lively community spirit and supports individual creatives. This annual exhibition is vital in building and maintaining a sense of community among Utah’s artistic talents, making it an essential fixture in Utah’s cultural landscape.

The Museum has always been there, and in a generation where there’s a never-ending addiction to technology and getting sucked into the online life, the Museum is there to remind you to stop and take a walk, as well as to appreciate the beauty in everyday life. I hope that the future high schoolers will be as curious as we are to learn about the history of Springville High, and remember to live life with their eyes, not a screen.

In the months leading up to the 100th Spring Salon, the student committee had the opportunity to help the Museum plan events centered around involving high school students in the excitement of this historic anniversary. We (Nichole Gonzalez, Presley Johnson, Hildy Mangum, Magdalena Marquez, Haven Smith, and Paige Smith) have greatly enjoyed our time working with the Springville Museum of Art on this project.

In our meetings, we have learned about the history between the Museum and our high school. We are honored to have the opportunity to strengthen the relationship between these two institutions and look forward to what the future holds for their relationship.

SHS Art Teacher + Curator It is said of Johnson that, “During the time he was Curator of the Springville High School Art Gallery, he did much to foster the best in art and to raise year by year the standards of the exhibit.

‘Nothing mediocre’ was tolerated by him; quality first and always was his guide.”

The students saw a future where their Collection and exhibition were unsurpassed by any in the state or nation. They hoped their art program would continue in perpetuity.

What were some of your dreams and hopes for the future as a young person?

13

The first annual “Spring Salon” took place in 1922. Every nook and cranny of the high school was filled with art.

New paintings and artworks for the students’ Permanent Collection, purchased from each Salon, were unveiled in large assemblies. Artists from all over the country sent works to hang in the Springville High School halls. The whole community rallied around art!

Mae Huntington began teaching English at Springville High School in the late 1920s and took on the Annual Spring Salon as her passion project.

She recruited artists, wrote articles about the Springville Art Movement for national publications, and encouraged excitement among the students, faculty, and community for their exhibitions and Collection.

Much of the Salon’s success through the 1930s, 40s, and 50s can be credited to Huntington, who worked at the high school until 1955.

“May this art project continue to grow and with its growth may the conviction increase that the value of art does not lie in its own history but in the higher life which expresses and reveals to us. … May we see in these masterpieces of art what life has been at its finest moments; and may we realize the importance of art as a means of developing love of beauty, appreciation of the wonders of life, and the value of true and lasting joy.”

Newly Appointed director Dr. Vern G. Swanson experimented with new ideas and restrictions for the annual Spring Salon.

1980s

yd e Cl

Louise

In the early 1980s, Vern Swanson changed the rules of the exhibition to only accept traditional and representational work, nothing deemed “avant-garde.” This lasted several years until 1989 when Swanson made one of the most pivotal changes in the Salon’s programming: he made it open to all genres and styles, but only open to Utah artists.

Louis Clyde e was a major donor who purch ased artwo r the M ks for useum ’s Collec tion from e ach Salon from the 19 80s the 20 to 00s

Thus, the Salon’s reputation as the premier exhibition of Utah art began.

76

Dr. Vern G. Swanson Remarkably, since I came on the scene of the Springville High School Art Gallery (now Springville Museum of Art) in 1964, I have personally viewed fifty four of the 100 April/Spring Salons. Thirty-one of those, I was chiefly in charge as Museum Director and twelve as a member of the selection committee for acquisitions from the Salon. That is forty-three salons that I had a direct hand in, one way or another. What stands out most during those passing years are the constant surprises that each iteration of the Salon provided. As Director, I soon learned to expect the unexpected.

To always be ready to be shaken by some new artist that took my breath away, to tearfully learn of a fallen painter, or to see on the floor at the end of a gallery a work of art so poignant that all I could say in response to it was, “what hath God wrought?”

I nostalgically remember all the jurors, many of them coming in from Europe, paid by their auction-house; others coming to jury with no pay. Names like Peter Adams (president of the California Art Club), Penny Perlmutter of San Francisco, Martin Beisley (director of Victorian Department of Christie’s in London), and of course the wonderful Ukrainian artist Alexey Steele come to mind. I remember taking so much time to console the artists whose works the jurors didn’t select, and I would say to these dejected ones, “we’ll never hire those blind judges again!” As the years rolled, I watched our Utah artists improve and I smiled to see it. I came to see the Museum as a giant channel and the art streaming through it like an ever-flowing river. Now, after one hundred years of channeling art, the Spring Salon is Utah’s grandest annual exhibition and has been since the third-annual in 1924. We owe so much of it to Mae B. Huntington, Wayne Johnson, and Principal N. K. Nielson for getting it going. Now the second century is upon us and what unsung hero or heroine will raise the Salon to even greater heights?

Springville Museum of Art remains a leader in the Utah art scene.

During the 1990s, the Salon continued to expand under the direction of Dr. Vern Swanson. The Salon championed Utah artists and broke records!

“A Salon bursting with a plethora of entries means prosperity. I believe it is only when times are good that an abundance of artists are able to pursue creative interests....

Too much to hope for, I know, but wouldn’t it be just awesome if the Museum grew by several more buildings and the Salon grew to fill them all?”

Dr. Rita R. Wright Each year, the Annual Spring Salon announces the end of long wintry days and the arrival of sunny hours in the Museum’s beautiful galleries and gardens.

I always love how the Museum comes alive with preparations for the opening of this exhibition.

Artists are scurrying around with last-minute touchups and varnish; staff is busy preparing to place and install the new artworks; visitors eagerly gather to see what is current and innovative within the Utah artist community.

The Spring Salon is a revered tradition inasmuch as it highlights and showcases the best of Utah art, and over the years a number of artists have expressed how much it means to them to be included. They tell stories of struggles, stresses, and strains that test their endurance and desire to improve their skills and ideas—and the joy of finally being accepted into the exhibition. Others that are not included know that there will always be another opportunity “next year” because the Salon has the ongoing support of the community and arrives as surely as Spring. The colors, emotions, and skill are tributes to the Museum’s enduring legacy of sharing life-affirming art and meaningful experiences.

The Annual Spring Salon has always been a time of joy and excitement, for which I never tire. It is a glorious tribute to the hearts and souls of our artists, community members, and this incredible, historic Museum. It was my honor to oversee it for 10+ years.

“One of my favorite Salons was actually our 2020 rendition.

As COVID was escalating rapidly in March, it became clearer and clearer to our staff that there was not going to be a safe–but still impactful–way to do this exhibition during the spring lockdown. However, we had not canceled a Salon since World War II! It was hard and scary to be facing something that was impacting us on that same level. After many lively, passionate planning meetings, we made the tentative decision to hold the Salon in the fall. When intake rolled around, we had no idea what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised to not see much of a drop in our submission numbers. We were anticipating a lot of artwork responding to the pandemic, that expressed the inner turmoil we were all experiencing during those months of isolation and fear. To our astonishment, artists had, for the most part, moved in the opposite direction! Artworks had stunning, bright color palettes and communicated a warmth we hadn’t expected at all. Artists were able to devote time to their practice while trapped in their homes, and we saw that growth in skill, scale, and creativity. As I went about placing and installing the exhibition, I was struck again and again by the incredible talent, breadth, and beauty of Utah’s artistic community, even in the darkest of times.”

-Hannah Barrett, former registrar

131

In the first years of the 2020s, the Spring Salon continued to be one of the premier exhibitions of Utah art. 2024 saw a record number of entries, demonstrating the robust talent and output of the Utah art scene.
