Things to See and Do at the Cultural Center

Permanent art Collection

We recognize the importance of community culture as described by art, heritage artifacts, and archives.  The Utah Cultural Celebration Center and West Valley City  Division of Arts & Culture are committed to collection development, preservation, and access to all objects in its public collection.   We collect, preserve, and display items of local artistic, cultural, and historic interest.  The Permanent Collection is continually evolving, and includes nearly 120 works ranging from small collectibles to outdoor public art installations.
