Many of the Museum’s longtime visitors treasure our Soviet and Russian Art Collection. This might be unexpected given the complex history between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Despite different cultures, politics, and values, the artworks nevertheless highlight shared human experiences.
This exhibition examines themes of identity, community, labor, and leisure. It explores connections to place, celebrating the comfort of home and the beauty of nature. These artworks reveal universal human longings, reminding us of what we all share.

John Hafen believed in the power of art to uplift and elevate lives and communities. Despite constant hardships, Hafen dedicated his life to his personal mission of art, faith, and beauty. He believed he was painting not only God’s nature, but nature’s God.
This is the first major retrospective of Hafen, one of Utah’s most important artists and a co-founder of the Springville Art Movement. The Springville Museum of Art would not exist without Hafen’s belief in the power of art.
