Show Notes
The Utah Museum of Fine Arts is the region’s primary resource for culture and visual arts. It is located in the Marcia and John Price Museum Building in Salt Lake City, Utah on the University of Utah campus near Rice-Eccles Stadium.

âIâve been president for five years and I think I and the board agreed that perhaps it was time for somebody else to run the meetings,â Brown said.
The change-up follows the resignation of two museum trustees this summer who reported disagreements with Brown over issues of cultural representation. [See âGrowing pains at the museumâ pub. Aug. 27, 2020 -ed.]
