About Us:

The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art has been an award-winning aesthetic force and community leader since it was established in 1931. Located in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, UMOCA’s rich past has resulted in the creation of a cornerstone for contemporary culture in Utah, providing for artistic experimentation, community enrichment, and connection to the world as it occurs through our related experiences. The Museum strives to be a place where all points of view, experiences, and ages feel welcome to explore the pressing issues of our time through socially relevant art exhibitions and educational programming. In 2011, SLAC became the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, a re-branding that better discloses to the public the organization’s function as a museum that specializes in contemporary art. From its groundbreaking exhibitions to its extensive education and outreach programs, UMOCA continues to encourage and inspire people to explore what it means to exist in today’s world.

Mission:

The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (UMOCA) advances and elevates the community of contemporary arts and culture, establishing Utah as a leading voice for the spirit of innovation, experimentation and dialogue surrounding the issues of our time.
