Visual arts competitions and exhibitions have been a project of the Utah Division of Arts & Museums (UA&M) since 1899. The Statewide Annual Exhibition (SWA) is an annual juried exhibition that presents a survey of current, outstanding visual art by Utah-based artists through three rotating themes: Painting, Sculpture, & Installation; Mixed Media & Works on Paper; and Craft, Photography, Video, & Digital.

The 2025 Statewide Annual (SWA) will be exhibited at Southern Utah Museum of Art and composed of artworks of the categories of painting, sculpture, and installation selected from artists’ submissions received from across the state. We are honored to have Marela Zacarias (New York, NY) and Nancy Zastudil (Albuquerque, NM) as this year’s jurors, as they bring a vast array of knowledge to the selection process.
