Summit County Art Collection
Traveling Exhibition
Over the years the County has purchased, or acquired through donation, more than 80 paintings that are scattered throughout the offices and hallways of County buildings. Unless residents have specific business in County buildings, these artworks remain largely unseen.
The Public Art Advisory Board has created this traveling exhibition to introduce the community to a body of work evocative of the county's rich landscape and heritage. More than 20 visual art pieces in oil, pastel and watercolor are represented in this exhibit.
The Collection has been amassed through purchases made by Summit County Commissioners at the annual Summit County Fair Art Show. Summit County residents have generously donated other pieces to the collection. The show marks the first opportunity for many area residents to view this outstanding group while learning more about the artists and the art itself. The year-long traveling exhibit is made possible by a grant from the Summit County Recreation Arts and Parks Tax. The Richins Building is the first stop on the tour, followed by the Kamas County Services Building, and then back to the County Courthouse in Coalville.
