Your Community Art Center

Since 1978, Visual Art Institute, a nonprofit community art center, has been offering high-quality visual art classes for children, teens, and adults along Utah’s Wasatch Front.

CLASSES HERE

Of the thousands of students we've served, so many have gone on to achieve great things! We are committed to community outreach & believe that creative experiences are positive for everyone. We’re deeply grateful to all supporters, donors, instructors & volunteers who have made VAI what it is today.
