Springville Art Museum

Last week we visited the beautiful Springville Art Museum! It was my first time going and I loved it! They have some great pieces there. The history of the museum is also pretty neat- it was started by Springville High School! It also has the largest collection of Russian Art in the country. 

 At the end of our tour, we got to go downstairs where they had neat origami projects for us to try, drawing stations set up, and blocks for the younger students.

The museum also has family night the first Monday of every month from 6p-8p. 


The evening begins with an interesting and often interactive presentation by a local artist.  In the past we have had sculptor Korry Bird, quilter Marsha Harward, illustrator Bryan Beaus, and even a comicstrip artist Tod McAllister.  The artist is followed by some form of entertainment ranging from vocal broups to dance and even Karate demonstrations.  A hands-on art project led by the Museum's art educators will inspire participants to explore their creative side.  The Museum will remain open until 8 pm, to allow visitors extra time to walk through the galleries and enjoy the exhibitions currently on display.
