Art History

The Springville Museum of Art provides quality life-affirming art, cultural and educational opportunities to the community of Springville (Utah's Art City), the arts community, students and educators, and the public at large. It is located roughly 60 miles south of SLC.

The Utah Museum of Fine Arts collection includes more than 18,000 objects -- paintings, works on paper, photography, sculpture, and mixed media objects from artists around the world.

This resource, sponsored by the Utah Division of Art & Museums, features films about Utah artists by Utah filmmakers. Here you will find clips from documentary films that illuminate the creative process of painters, poets, dancers, and musicians and present artists talking about or producing their art. You can search by filmmaker and/or artist.

The goal of the Utah Artists Project is to improve access to information about and knowledge of the work of Utah's most prominent visual artists--beginning with a core list of 200 artists. Artist pages include biographical information, images of artwork, archive materials, and lists of ephemera.

Lots of information here. See if you can search the Society's publications. One publication of particular interest (and available in the Marriott Library collection) is the Utah Historical Quarterly, which has published scholarly histories of Utah since 1928.
