Visual Art Institute (VAI) is a nonprofit art program in Utah, offering high-quality fine art & design classes for children, teens & adults along the Wasatch Front.

We have been shaping creativity in this beautiful state since 1978.

 
 

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.
