Sun Valley Museum of Art

The Sun Valley Museum of Art (SVMoA) is the oldest arts organization in central Idaho’s Wood River Valley. Founded in 1971 as the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, the museum has grown from a few people presenting classes and events to an organization which has over 20,000 people attend events annually. The museum's main gallery and staff offices are in Ketchum, Idaho, but SVMoA also operates a second location in Hailey, Idaho, to better serve the needs of the growing population of southern Blaine County. The Hailey location consists of a historic 100-year-old house that was the birthplace of the poet Ezra Pound and a newly built freestanding classroom. In 2006, the Sun Valley Museum of Art received accreditation status from the American Alliance of Museums in recognition of its adherence to best practices of operation and programming. Only five percent of America's arts and cultural institutions share this distinction. The museum is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization.
