Your Community Art Center

Visual Art Institute is a nonprofit community art center founded in 1978. We offer high quality visual art classes for children, teens, and adults along Utah's Wasatch Front.

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, instructors & volunteers who have made VAI what it is today.
