This annual show invites local artists to submit their work for a chance to be featured. Up to 30 spots are available for hanging artworks, with additional pieces to be displayed at Moab City Hall. The artists’ work is also eligible to be purchased as a part of the City’s permanent collection that is displayed at various City buildings including City Hall, the Aquatic and Recreation Center, and the Moab Arts Center.

This program is part of the City of Moab’s effort to showcase and support local art and Artists throughout Grand County.
