Gallery
Stroll is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization funded
by sponsorships and grants. We are dedicated to promoting
the visual arts in Salt Lake City.
History
Founded by the Salt
Lake Gallery Association in 1983, Gallery Stroll began
as a small consortium of fine art galleries. Today,
as a separate non-profit organization, the Salt Lake
Gallery Stroll encompasses the majority of galleries
and visual-arts related businesses in Salt Lake City.
The goal remains same...to promote the best art Salt
Lake City has to offer.
To that end, on the third Friday of each month, galleries and other businesses
that support visual artists stay open late, providing
an opportunity for art enthusiasts to tour their exhibits
after hours.
In December, Gallery Stroll is held on the first
Friday of the month.
In May we facilitate
the annual Gallery Roll as a part of National Bike
Month.
Mission
The Salt Lake Gallery
Stroll strives to promote and provide access to the
expression, appreciation, and understanding of the
visual arts in Salt Lake City and to increase the
reputation of Utah artists and art organizations locally,
nationally and internationally.
We seek to remove intellectual,
social and physical barriers to the enjoyment and
understanding of visual art and encourage awareness
of Salt Lake City’s diverse visual art community.
We strive to broaden the local audience
interested in visual arts and improve the quality
of their experiences.
