The St. George Art Museum was built in 1934 for the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company and was later converted to a museum by the community.

…following quote taken from the St. George Art Museum website. “The building which is now the St. George Art Museum was originally built in the 1930’s to store beet seed for a sugar beet factory. The Utah-Idaho Sugar Company, after determining that sugar beet seed was a good “cash” crop, built the building in 1934, using it along with the already existing opera house and another building which is now the Social Hall. This was the start of a business that would last for nearly fifty years.

The St. George Art Museum celebrated ten years in the Pioneer Center for the Arts in 2007. The year leading up to that milestone was dedicated to raising funds to buy ten new pieces of art with the initiative to fill Ten Empty Frames with Art That Goes Beyond.

The year 2017 will feature special events and exhibits to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the St. George Art Museum’s beautiful home in the Pioneer Center for the Arts.”

The Museum is open Monday through Saturday, 10:00 AM through 5:00 PM at 47 East 200 North, St. George, Utah 84770.
