Programs & Activities
Program 1
$143KSince 1994, Utah Humanities has partnered with the Smithsonian Institution's Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) to bring Museum on Main Street (MoMS) exhibitions to communities throughout Utah. Together with local host partners, we have collaborated on ten exhibition tours through more than 50 communities and reached more than a million people in Utah with this programming. In 2023-2024, UH toured the MoMS exhibition Crossroads: Change in Rural America. Crossroads traveled to eight communities in Utah: North Summit Unite in partnership with Summit County History Department (Coalville); Wasatch County Library (Heber); Utah State University - Eastern (Price); Silver Reef Museum (Leeds); Brigham City Museum of Art & History (Brigham City); John Wesley Powell River History Museum (Green River); MT Hurst Foundation in partnership with Utah State University - Blanding (Blanding); Granary Arts in partnership with Snow College Library (Ephraim). The next Museum on Main Street exhibit will be Voices and Votes in 2026, as part of the national America250 celebration in 2026.
