About Us

The goal of the University of Utah 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 around 370 artists, the library is building a file (both print and electronic) for each artist.

The initial list of artists is drawn from lists compiled by the Springville Museum of Art, Bountiful Davis Art Center, Robert Olpin’s telecourse, Art Life of Utah, the Utah Arts Council, and the Salt Lake County Fine Arts Program.

Files for most artists include: images of art works and gallery ephemera, a bibliography of published references, and the location of manuscript collections relating to the artist.

We gratefully acknowledge the following institutions for their assistance in this project: Brigham Young University Museum of Art, the Harold B. Lee Library at B.Y.U., LDS Church Art and History Museum, Springville Museum of Art, Utah Museum of Fine Arts at the U of U, Salt Lake County Art Collection, the Utah Arts Council and U of U Media Solutions.

For concerned artists: images of art work on this site are protected through a document scanning and archiving process. The public has no access to the archived high resolution images artists have provided for this project.
