Making world-class art accessible for all!
The Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) is the leading fine arts institution for both the University of Utah and the State of Utah. It is the only institution within the Intermountain West that acquires, exhibits, interprets, and cares for an extensive collection of more than 20,000 fine art objects. The UMFA relies on public support to make its work possible. Please consider a gift to one (or more!) of the areas below. Your contribution will directly support those objectives!
Donate to the General Operating Fund
A gift to the General Operating Fund is an investment in ALL the work done at the UMFA–including quality art education programs, hiring skilled and professional staff, and showcasing thought-provoking exhibitions that engage the visiting public. General operating support underwrites ALL of this important work, both in the galleries and out in the community. Support the UMFA’s ongoing exhibitions, public programming, learning and engagement offerings, collections care, and more!
Donate to Art Education Programs
Quality art education programming is central to the UMFA’s mission. Each year, UMFA educators engage thousands of K-12 students and teachers in every school district across Utah. They support teaching and learning on the University of Utah campus and provide families and adults throughout the community with a dynamic array of art-inspired programs. Make a gift today to ignite creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking in the state's growing and diverse population.
Donate to Art Conservation
The UMFA’s Collections and Conservation Department is dedicated to the conservation, protection, and care of more than 20,000 fine art objects in the Museum’s permanent collection. This team also installs and de-installs all traveling exhibitions and regularly rotates permanent collection pieces in the galleries, preserving our collection for Utah and beyond.
Your gift to the Ann K. Stewart Docent Conservation Fund directly supports these conservation efforts. Established in 2006 in memory of Ann K. Stewart—beloved former curator of education and dedicated docent—the fund is stewarded by the UMFA Docent Council and sustains the critical work of conservation for the Museum. Thanks to Ann K. Stewart’s legacy and contributions from docents and the community, the UMFA has been able to conserve over 25 significant artworks, preserving them for the enjoyment and inspiration of future generations.
