About Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (UMOCA)

The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art sits on West Temple in downtown Salt Lake City. It presents rotating exhibitions of art made in recent decades, along with live performances, artist talks, film screenings, and family activities. The museum does not keep a permanent collection. Visitors can pay a suggested donation, which supports its exhibitions and education work. The museum has announced plans to move to an interim space in late 2027 before opening a new downtown building.
