Williams Fine Art, Salt Lake City
……”A thing of beauty is a joy forever”………….that is what Clayton R. Williams had in mind when he established Williams Fine Art in 1988. He envisioned an art gallery which would present to the public a beautiful collection of art created by the best of early Utah artists. He concentrated on outstanding works by both living and deceased painters and sculptors. His gallery offered symposia whose speakers presented to the audiences important information about the lives of outstanding artists with showings of their works. Also, special events were held such as book signings by the authors of newly published art books.
Artist's work that is regularly offered through Williams Fine Art include, LeConte Stewart, James T. Harwood, Lee Deffebach, Florence Ware, Minerva Tiechert and many others.
Today Mr. Williams is continuing that Williams Fine Art tradition at a new location, 132 E Street in Salt Lake City, where you will see fine collections of museum quality art work. Mr. Williams truly believes that “a thing of beauty is a joy forever” and he wants to share that vision with his friends who have become collectors of the finest of Utah and Western Art. Williams Fine Art is located in the F. Weixler Co. gallery which contains an array of lovely furniture, rugs, pottery and paintings to please the eye.
We hope you will come to see us when you are looking for quality artwork. Learn more at williamsfineart.com.
We're located at 132 E St. in Salt Lake City. Our hours are 12pm to 5pm, Monday through Friday.

This marvelous historical manor is a Utah gem that is steeped in a century of history. Originally established in 1938 by the Walker family as a summer home, this property boasts a 13,000 square foot house, a guesthouse with a second floor apartment, a newly built caretaker’s cottage, a charming barn, and acres of exquisite gardens, pools, ponds, and paths. With only 4 owners since the home was built, each one has carefully preserved this historic property while updating essential elements to capitalize on modern innovations.
Located at the end of one of the most elite streets in Utah, this home is nestled in an extremely quiet, pastoral setting. The ornate, wrought iron fence that surrounds the property, which was purchased at a museum auction, is the original fence that surrounded Boston Common at the same time Paul Revere made his infamous midnight ride. A lovely pond and winding path are part of the sweeping landscape that leads to the grand entrance, which features stately pillars, an ornate ceiling, and an intricate fountain.
Beyond the magnificent entry, the foyer still has the original marble floors and lead glass windows. It also features a stunning spiral staircase that was meticulously reassembled by hand after being purchased from the New Hampshire’s Governor’s mansion that draws the eye up to a gorgeous chandelier.
The spacious living room has an abundance of beautiful features, including the original fireplace and hardwood floors, ornate moldings, and a period chandelier. The large windows offer sweeping views of an exquisite landscape and the pool, which won an international gold medal for design.
The billiards room boasts original stained glass, coffered, gold leaf ceilings, and marble floors. French doors and windows in a lovely alcove bathe the room in soft light. A wet bar and a regal fireplace make this space ideal for gathering together with friends and family for any event.
One of the most charming rooms in the home is the winter garden room, which has heated tile floors under a beautiful atrium. Three sets of French doors leading to the gardens provide ample light and outstanding views.
To the left of the foyer, a water closet with a gold sink and stained glass sits just outside the private office space. This majestic office is surrounded with wonderful architectural features, including wood paneling from the New Hampshire Governor’s mansion, arch doors, stunning tile, and a wood fireplace.
To the right of the living room is a spacious formal dining room with marble floors, a fireplace, and antique windows from England. The adjacent kitchen boasts traditional details such as tall ceilings and original stained glass, but commercial-grade appliances, a massive granite island, and a butler’s pantry capitalize on modern conveniences. It is easy to entertain groups of any size with easy access from the kitchen to the patio, the formal dining room, or the informal dining space.
To the right of the kitchen, the informal dining space and the family room, create a modern-day great room. Domed ceilings, antique stained glass and a grand fireplace add to the ambiance of this room and an ice cream parlor from England offers some whimsy.
Upstairs, the master bedroom boasts floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the spectacular gardens and flood the room with light.
The ballet room houses several treasures, including woodwork from the historic Leyson-Pearsall jewelry store that was established on Salt Lake City’s Main Street in 1905. The original jewelry case, a wrought iron gate, and beautiful columns add wonderful charm to this delightful room.
Additional features include a second story laundry room, a luxurious sauna, and a generous mudroom with lockers and a dog bath. Each of the home’s bedrooms is a miniature suite, with two closets and a full bathroom assigned to each room, which allows family members and guests to enjoy their own private sanctuary.
The stunning grounds of this property are beyond comparison. A charming cutting garden, lush fruit trees, and sprawling grassy areas create an inherently beautiful atmosphere. Paths wind through the property, which is dotted with quiet sitting areas that provide views of the stunning Wasatch mountain range. Original statues, an award-winning pool, and a sports court offer something for everyone. The ponds, pools, and creek keep the grounds cooler in the summer than other parts of the valley, which makes it even easier to enjoy the outdoors.
The spellbinding peg-wood barn was carefully constructed with attention to every detail. On the main floor, the three stall doors are salvaged elevator doors from the renown Walker building in downtown Salt Lake City. Wooden beams flank the tall ceiling and beautiful chandeliers provide a charming aesthetic.

Places to see in ( Salt Lake City - USA )
Places to see in ( Salt Lake City - USA )
Salt Lake City, Utah’s high-elevation capital, is bordered by the buoyant waters of the Great Salt Lake and the snow-capped peaks of the Wasatch Range. Downtown’s 10-acre Temple Square, headquarters of the Mormon Church, is home to the majestic, 19th-century Salt Lake Temple and the neo-Gothic Assembly Hall. The acclaimed Mormon Tabernacle Choir performs in the square’s domed Tabernacle.
Salt Lake City is the capital and largest city of Utah, with a population of approximately 190,000 (the Salt Lake Metro Area in its entirety has over a million people). It is one of the largest cities in the Southwest region of the United States, although its climate is more similar to the Rocky Mountain region. It lies in the Salt Lake Valley along the Wasatch Front urban corridor, located between the Wasatch Range to the east and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west; on the border between the Rocky Mountain and Great Basin geographic regions.
Salt Lake City is well-known as the center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as the Mormon church), although fewer than half of the city's residents are members. The city is also known as a base for outdoor recreation, including the many nearby ski resorts just east of the city which were thrust into the world spotlight by the 2002 Winter Olympics.
Significant neighborhoods in SLC include Downtown, the financial core that's home to Temple Square (the main headquarters of the Mormon church); Central City, the main residential area of the city, approximately 400 South to 900 South; Sugar House, a commercial/residential district with many local and national shops; Federal Heights, an affluent district to the northeast; The Avenues a historical neighborhood with many late 1800 and early 1900 buildings; University, the area surrounding the sprawling University of Utah campus and the adjacent VA Medical Center, Research Park, and Fort Douglas; East Bench or Foothill, a residential area bisected by the major arterial road Foothill Boulevard between 900 South and I-80; Capitol Hill, an affluent district just north of Downtown topped by the Utah State Capitol building; Rose Park a residential in the northwest section of the city; and Glendale a residential, primarily Hispanic district to the southwest, home to the International Peace Gardens. The benches are the mostly residential, upper-class communities constructed mostly along the slopes of the Wasatch Mountains on the east side of the valley, although they have recently been growing in the southern valley (the low Traverse Mountains) and the western valley (the Oquirrh Mountains). The east side is traditionally more affluent and conservative than the west side, leading to the expected cultural rivalries that you find in other cities with clear divides, although this divide is arguably less pronounced in Salt Lake City than in most major cities.

Staycation: Free Attractions in Utah
Question: What do art museums and Dinosaur bones have in common?
Answer:We visited both of them today.
Michael's brother was in town with his family and we decided to play tourist with him. Utah is one of the greatest states to visit and we are trying to visit it's many wonders. Today we spent time on BYU's campus where we visited the paleontology lab and the art museum. We found a few hoaxes in the museum and fell in love with the art by Nina Katchadorian. We rolled down hills and sampled the best chocolate milk in the world. What a great day.

Federal Heights Masterpiece in Salt Lake City, Utah - 1422 Military Way
As you drive through the charming, tree-lined signature streets of Federal Heights, you get a sense of the prominence and history that define this premier Salt Lake neighborhood. Completely renovated and updated in 2004 by the owner-architect, the home delivers oversized rooms and contemporary features within the architectural style of the period. Artfully designed, the timeless materials and the meticulous craftsmanship is extraordinary and unique. The outstanding attention to detail is evident throughout. An artist’s studio (or future guest house) was built on the .70 acre property at the time of renovation with a linear lap pool built in between. Framed by mature trees and a beautifully designed gardens and landscape, the view from every set of French doors (all five of them) presents a balanced, serene picture and invites the outdoors in. The floor plan is well designed and functional with a modern feeling. The living room opens into a family room with custom cabinetry and wet bar – ideal for entertaining. The professionally designed kitchen offers a sophisticated entertaining venue as well as a cozy dining area with a fireplace. A well-appointed formal dining room sits between the two and if the walls could talk, they would tell stories of spectacular dinner parties, celebrations and memorable events. The large master bedroom is a tranquil and sophisticated retreat. Two more bedrooms (one being used as a den currently) are on the same level as well as an additional full bath and laundry. Downstairs, there is an exercise room, large laundry/craft room, workshop, storage and flexible space. The artist’s studio is fully equipped with a kitchen, bath and laundry. There is garage space for three cars plus exceptional storage. State of the art plumbing, electrical and smart system technology and integrated speakers and museum quality lighting are found throughout this prestigious residence. The lifestyle is classic Salt Lake City with skiing, tennis, biking, hiking, golf, country clubs and the many outdoor activities this area is known for, within a short drive away.

LAYTON CITY - 2009 Governor's Leadership in the Arts Awards
The 2009 Governor's Leadership in the Arts Awards were presented at a luncheon concurrent with the Mountain West Arts Conference at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center. Awards were presented in the following categories:
- Community Leadership in the Arts - Layton City
- Support of Children through the Arts - Alice Perreault
- Organization Leadership in the Arts - NeighborWorks Salt Lake
- Individual Merit Leadership in the Arts - Anne Cullimore Decker
The Governor's Awards were created in 1980 to honor individuals and organizations who encourage and support arts and culture in Utah. In 2002 the awards were put on hold as the state prepared for the Olympics. As part of the first annual Mountain West Conference on the Arts the awards were reinstated in 2007. In a time when innovative artistic and cultural projects are continually emerging throughout the state, we look forward to many future years of honoring Utah's artistic visionaries and supporters.
