    In 1896, Utah created the first state arts agency in the country with the express purpose of purchasing paintings and sculpture for a State Art Collection. In 1976 when the Utah Arts Council's Folk Arts Program was established, the state began to also purchase objects of traditional art made by living Utahns from every region and cultural community. The collection consists of Native American baskets and beadwork, whittling and woodcarving, rag rugs and needlework, saddles and horse gear made from rawhide and horsehair, and a variety of ethnic arts made by traditional artists from all over the world who have come to live in Utah.
