Utah Museum of Contemporary Art’s Locals Only gallery
Situated near the entrance to UMOCA, the Locals Only Gallery is the first exhibition space that visitors view upon entering the building.
The Locals Only Gallery, which exhibits only Utah artists, provides those artists with a professional exhibition environment, prominent exposure to UMOCA visitors, and through UMOCA’s increasing national ties, greater exposure around the country.
Applicants for the Locals Only Gallery should have a clear proposal for a compelling and feasible project that will fit appropriately in the gallery. Artists may propose an exhibition of their own work, or a curated exhibition of artists living in Utah. UMOCA seeks work that is contemporary, professionally-produced, and responds to the diverse demographic of visitors that Utah Museum of Contemporary Art enjoys. Proposals in all formats –from site-specific, multi-media, or performative projects, to photography, painting, drawing, video, sound, and sculpture are welcome.

Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, formerly Salt Lake Art Center, is Utah’s premiere venue for contemporary art, and was recognized as Best Museum in the state for 2011. Founded in 1931 and now located in the heart of Salt Lake City, UMOCA exhibits groundbreaking work by leading local and international artists. Notable exhibitions include Fallen Fruit of Utah, a state-wide collaboration with museums and individuals about the role of fruit in Utah’s history, led by artist collective Fallen Fruit; Magic and Mysticism: videos by Mark Wallinger, Emilie Halpern and Shana Moulton; Robert Fontenot’s The Place This Is, a conceptual exploration of the stories and histories of Utah and America through materials commonly associated with the domestic realm; Contemporary Masters: Artist-Designed Miniature Golf, the Sundance Film Festival exhibition New Frontier, and Lawn Gnomes Eat Your Hearts Out, a community public sculpture initiative designed to move the very best in contemporary art outside the four walls of the gallery and into places where people work, live, and play.
