Utah Museum of Contemporary Art
Downtown · Salt Lake City, Utah

Today it serves as Utah's flagship museum dedicated exclusively to modern and contemporary art, presenting rotating exhibitions, public programs, and artist residencies free of charge in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. UMOCA's programming consistently brings nationally significant contemporary work to Utah while platforming regional voices within a broader art world context.
