The Springville Museum of Art was made possible by the [[Nebo School District]], the [[Works Progress Administration]] Act, and [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]]. In 1964 a two story wing was added as a gift from the [[Clyde Foundation]].

The [[Springville, Utah|Springville]] art movement began in 1903 with a donation of art by [[John Hafen]] and [[Cyrus Dallin]]. It was followed in 1907 by a donation from seven other Utah artists. The Smart collection came in 1925, followed by the Steed Collection (1948), and the Lund-Wassmer Collection in 1986. The Art Association Board of Trustees and the City of Springville continue to contribute to the growth of both the museum and its art.

The museum is noted for its collection of Utah art spanning from pioneer days to the present. Most of the major artists and styles of Utah are represented in nine permanent galleries in the museum. All 275 of the pieces are arranged in [[chronological order]] and show the development of art in Utah. The works of 250 artists are featured, including those of Doug Snow, Lee U. Dennion, [[Mahonri Young]], [[Dan Weggeland]], and [[LeConte Stewart]]. The museum is divided into two main sections:

== Temporary exhibitions ==
The four main galleries on the first floor display temporary shows and consist of a wide variety of styles dealing with both historical and contemporary issues. Some of the most popular exhibitions include the All-State High School Show, the Autumn Exhibit, and the Spring Salon.

== Permanent collection ==

Selections of the museum's collection of 1,500 works of are displayed on the second floor.
They consist of art from [[Utah]], the former [[Soviet Union]] and the [[USA]].
