Springville Museum of Art, Art museum in Springville, United States
Springville Museum of Art occupies a Spanish Colonial Revival building designed by Claud S. Ashworth and completed in 1937, with a two-story west wing added in 1964 and a 20,000-square-foot addition begun in 1998. Seven first-floor galleries hold temporary shows; nine permanent galleries on the second floor display selections from a 2,300-work collection of Utah, American and former Soviet art.
The museum started in 1903 when local artists donated their works to create a community collection. The building opened to the public in 1937 and has continuously served as a cultural center for the region.
The Spring Salon, an annual juried exhibition, has been held since 1921 and remains the museum's best-known recurring event. Other recurring shows include the All-State Utah High School Art Show, the Quilt Show and the Spiritual and Religious Show. The museum's name comes from the town of Springville, which has funded and supported the collection since the early 1900s.
The museum stands at 126 East 400 South in Springville, Utah. The 1937 building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Temporary exhibitions occupy the seven main galleries on the first floor, while selections from the permanent collection are displayed on the second floor.
The second floor displays selections from a permanent collection of 2,300 works, drawn from Utah, the United States and the former Soviet Union. The Utah pieces are arranged in chronological order across nine permanent galleries, tracing the state's art from pioneer days to the present.
