Long known as the Salt Lake Art Center, the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art got a new name in 2012. Founded in 1931, it has grown to be a thriving community art hub, offering both exhibits and educational programs alike. On display are the works of international and local artists alike, featuring global and regional themes. If you're in town for a while, check out the "Events" and "Education" sections of the museum's website, which include youth programs, workshops, talks, programs, films, and even galas. Winner of the "Best Museum" award in the Utah Best of State 2011 Competition, this is certainly one of Salt Lake's must-see museums.
