About the Utah County Art Gallery
The Art Gallery is operated by the Utah County Art Board
The Provo Art Board was founded in 1956
by B.F. Larsen, BYU Professor and well known artist. Monthly
exhibits by Utah artists were originally hung in the Provo
Utilities Building on 800 North, Provo. Around 1993 the
exhibits were moved to the historic Utah County Court
House, Center Street and University Avenue. The Board
then became known as the Utah County Art Board, and monthly
exhibits were hung there until the new Health and Justice
Building was built at 151 S. University Avenue in Provo,
where our exhibits, shows, and receptions are now held.
Utah County Art Board is a volunteer organization, funded
in part by Utah County, the Utah Arts Council, and the
National Endowments for the Arts. The Board works in cooperation
with various artists, art groups, and venues. Utah County
Art Gallery is a member of the Provo First Friday's Downtown
Gallery Stroll.

Mission Statement
We, the volunteers of the Utah

for thought provoking and
interesting fine art in our

Our intent is to provide local
artists the opportunity to share
their talents with the community and
also provide the best quality
monthly art exhibits to those
utilizing the Utah County building.
Throughout the year, we provide
community activities and volunteer
opportunities that enable creative
growth and fosters social
networking.
We are one of several galleries that
