Always art. Always free.
More than just your typical art gallery, the Pilar Pobil Celebration Gallery is named after world renowned Spanish born artist and Utah resident Pilar Pobil. The exhibits displayed in this gallery are curated to reflect her wish to, “provide a place for art to bring out the best in our souls.” We pride ourselves in celebrating the diversity of our community and promoting local artists as much as possible. The Pilar Pobil Celebration Gallery provides a place for the community to see and present great art, every day, for free.
The Bridge, Plaza, and Crescent Galleries house small collections of artworks by local artists, small travelling exhibitions, and educational displays. Most of this art is for sale at accessible prices.
In all our exhibition spaces, we encourage the expression of ideas, values, public education, and civic engagement. Our team works directly with artists and collectors to bring the best artwork to the local community. We use our expertise in displaying and presenting art, artifacts and information in ways that build appreciation for diversity and enrich the community.

Flag in the Map: Charting Rainbow Flag Stories
June 3 - June 30, 2025
Flag in the Map is a growing collection of photographs and stories that reaffirms the universal power of the Rainbow Flag to inspire LGBTQ+ people – especially in countries where their everyday existence is threatened. A collaboration between the Gilbert Baker Foundation and ReportOUT, Flag in the Map was launched in October 2020. The two organizations put out an open call across the world, asking for submissions of photos of people flying their Pride Flags. The resulting images came in from scores of countries and were curated for an emotionally powerful book. A selection of photographs was also mounted for an impressive public exhibition. As of this date exhibitions have been launched in the U.K. and Europe. Two were held in New York, including a summer-long outdoor exhibition at Stonewall National Park and the latest at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
