Item Description
Support the forthcoming Southern Utah Museum of Art "SUMA." Groundbreaking begins on March 27, 2014, and construction is expected to be completed September, 2015.
With education as its central purpose, the 25,000 square foot Southern Utah Museum of Art (SUMA) promises to become a major regional cultural attraction in Cedar City by providing space to exhibit, collect, and preserve historic and contemporary works of art significant to the interior American West.
This state-of-the-art museum building will be home to approximately 7,000 square feet of exhibition space composed of several individual galleries. These galleries will host exhibitions from around the world, be home to a special collection of the work by Utah artist, Jim Jones, and feature rotating exhibits from the permanent collections.
SUMA will also regularly exhibit work of Southern Utah University’s Art and Design students and faculty, and provide a venue for displaying regional artists and juried shows.
Approximately 6,000 square feet of the museum building will be dedicated to collection storage, care, and research. The building design will allow an imaginative response to the natural curiosity of visitors about where the Museum’s collection housed. Another 2,000 square feet will provide classroom and studio space for hands-on educational activities for K-12 school groups emphasizing the current exhibitions.
Through engaging exhibits and ongoing educational programming, SUMA will be a significant cultural resource for the people of Utah and the many visitors to our area.
NOTE: If you are interested in making a major contribution, many naming opportunities within SUMA are still available, including galleries, studios, and classrooms.
