Salt Lake is where mountain adventure meets city amenities. The towering Wasatch Mountains embrace the Salt Lake Valley and provide a dramatic backdrop to our vibrant, active, urban environment. Hike to dramatic waterfalls or alpine lakes, then refresh with award-winning cuisine. Explore the Great Salt Lake, then rock the night away to music that suits your specific tastes -- whether that's jazz, pop, symphony, or anything in-between. Race down snow covered slopes and then apres with local craft brews. How you spend your time in Salt Lake is as unique as you.

Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.

Current Exhibitions:

***Something from Everything***

Discover *Something From Everything*, an exhibition that celebrates the limitless possibilities of sculpture today. From everyday objects to unexpected materials, artists transform the familiar into something entirely new—inviting visitors to see how meaning shifts when items are reimagined, remade, and recontextualized. With works that spark curiosity, highlight play and process, and explore connections to history, memory, and culture, the exhibition shows how even the most ordinary materials can tell extraordinary stories. Families and visitors of all ages can experience the joy of experimentation and the power of creativity in this engaging exploration of sculpture.

**Elizabeth Malaska: 2025 Catherine Doctorow Prize for Contemporary Painting**

Enter the dreamlike world of Elizabeth Malaska, winner of the 2025 Catherine Doctorow Prize for Contemporary Painting. In her striking paintings, figures emerge, dissolve, and transform—moving between the everyday and the mythic, the ordinary and the uncanny. Drawing on traditions of Surrealism and magic realism, Malaska reimagines the body as fluid and multiple, revealing it as both vulnerable and powerful. Her work invites visitors to experience painting as a space of transformation, where ruptures open new possibilities and where tenderness and resistance coexist.

**William Cobbing: Inner Horizon**

*Inner Horizon* is the first U.S. solo exhibition by London-based artist William Cobbing, commissioned by the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art. Through a multi-channel video installation filmed across Utah’s desert landscapes, Cobbing transforms the act of looking into a dialogue with the land. Wearing sculptural clay headpieces—one mirrored, one cave-like—he captures shifting skies, textured rock formations, and the passage of geologic time. The result is a meditative encounter where human perception and natural terrain blur together, inviting visitors to experience the landscape not as backdrop, but as collaborator.

**Kellie Bornhoft: Touchstone**

*Touchstone* invites visitors to reflect on the deep connection between the human body and the Earth itself. Artist Bornhoft embeds sixteen essential minerals—present in both our bodies and in the planet—into large resin panels shaped like slices of rock, echoing geological methods of revealing what lies within. Accompanied by video projections, poetic text, hand-drawn animations, and an immersive soundscape, the installation blurs the line between human and mineral, reminding us that our bodies are made of the same matter as the landscapes we inhabit.

**Al Denyer: Shifting Terrain; Mapping Place**

In *Shifting Terrain, Mapping Place*, artist Al Denyer explores how maps shape the way we picture and understand landscapes. Using the familiar lines of cartography alongside digital mapping glitches, Denyer transforms errors in technology into uncanny new terrains—warped hillsides, false rocks, and places that exist only on the screen. By blending the real and the imagined, her work invites visitors to reflect on how both precision and imperfection shape our sense of place and the stories we tell about the land.
