Discover the Hidden Gems of Salt Lake Citys Cultural Scene

Salt Lake City might have a reputation as being a quiet, conservative city with not much to offer in terms of culture. However, anyone who takes the time to explore its hidden gems will quickly realize that this couldnt be further from the truth.

One mustvisit spot for visual art lovers is Phillips Gallery (444 E 200 S), where you can find an impressive collection of contemporary art and photography. Another great option is Nox Contemporary (440 S 400 W #H1), a gallery focusing on experimental and edgy pieces.

If theater is more your thing, then Pioneer Theatre Company (300 South 1400 East) should definitely make it onto your list. This professional theater company puts on some incredible productions throughout the year and has become one of Salt Lake Citys top cultural institutions.

As for concert venues, The State Room (638 S State St) offers up an intimate setting where you can catch both local and national acts across a variety of genres, while Red Butte Garden Amphitheatre (300 Wakara Way) provides stunning views against which to enjoy performances by bigger names.

Of course, no trip to Salt Lake City would be complete without taking in some history something that Temple Square delivers tenfold. Here visitors can explore Mormon landmarks such as Brigham Youngs house along with expansive gardens featuring waterfalls and vivid flowers.

Finally, if youre looking for something truly unique head over to Gilgal Sculpture Garden(749 E 500 S). A quirky sculpture garden created by Thomas Battersby Child Jr., this fascinating attraction features replicas from religious iconography alongside bizarre creations like sphinxes made entirely out of old Utah license plates!

These are just some highlights among many fantastic cultural sites waiting for people brave enough to venture beyond what meets the eye when passing through Utahs capital city!
