The Sun Valley Museum of Art (SVMoA) was founded in 1971 on the belief that a community needs arts and culture to be both vital and sustainable. SVMoA has evolved into a forward-thinking contemporary art museum that enriches our community through art and education and by providing a place where artists and creative minds can explore our time’s most engaging questions. As the oldest arts organization in the Wood River Valley, and one of only five institutions in Idaho accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, SVMoA serves as the valley’s cultural anchor, bringing families, visitors and residents together for shared arts experiences. We offer exceptional year-round programming in visual arts, music, film, and the humanities. As a non-collecting contemporary art institution, SVMoA is uniquely suited to invite the most appropriate artists to explore the specifics of a topic or an issue and we regularly offer opportunities to artists and musicians to develop new work.
