Stroll 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, the Gallery Stroll is held on the first
Friday of the month.
