Salon 100: A Retrospective of 100 Spring Salons and the Students that Built Art City!

2024 will be a year like no other for the Museum as we commemorate the 100^th Annual Spring Salon. The Spring Salon is an annual juried exhibition that showcases the best of contemporary Utah art. It is one of the largest and most competitive art exhibitions in the Intermountain West.

Founded by Springville High School students and faculty in the 1920s, throughout its history the Salon showcased famous artists like Walt Disney, Norman Rockwell, Edward Hopper, and Georgia O'Keefe. The community's dedication to art propelled the Salon from the high school's halls to a full-fledged museum in 1937, shaping the artistic landscape of Springville and Utah forever. Our historic commemoration will honor these students, celebrate contemporary artists, and imagine the future of the Salon through exhibitions, a documentary film, publications, and special programs and lectures.
