Springville
Utah's art capital with a charming downtown, stunning canyon, and a creative community spirit that makes it unlike anywhere else in the state.
Overview
Springville holds a unique distinction in Utah: it's known as the state's art capital. Home to the Springville Museum of Art, Utah's first art museum, the city has cultivated a creative identity that permeates its downtown, its schools, and its community events. Art City Days, held each summer, is one of Utah Valley's beloved traditions.
Beyond the arts, Springville offers practical advantages: affordable housing, strong family values, beautiful access to Spring Creek and Hobble Creek canyons, and a location that puts Provo and Spanish Fork just minutes away. It's a place where creative spirit meets small-town practicality.
