Our Mission

The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art believes in the power of the art of our time. Through programming, advocacy, and collaboration, we work with artists and communities to build a better world.

History

From its inception, the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art has been resolutely, tirelessly contemporary. Since 1931, UMOCA has been a clear and independent voice committed to the most pressing issues of its day. While many things have changed over the organization’s ninety-year history, some things have not. UMOCA has maintained a commitment to community, local artists, education, awareness, and inclusion. These values—so central to art in the 21st century—have been an integral part of the mission for nine decades. Each incarnation—from the Art Barn (1931-1958) to the Salt Lake Art Center (1959-2010)
