Support Professional Development for Utah's Museum Professionals!

Each year the Utah Museums Association (a 501(c)3 nonprofit) hosts a fundraising auction in conjunction with our annual conference. All auction proceeds support programs that help build the capacity for museums across our state - which in turn, enriches the lives of visitors by illuminating our state's artistic and cultural heritage. All donations are tax-deductible.

This year, the Utah Museums Association (UMA) is partnering with the Western Museums Association (WMA) for the annual conference which will be held in Salt Lake City, UT on September 23–26, 2026. Auction donations for both organizations can be submitted using the form below. Proceeds will be allocated to the organization listed in the donation form.

Your generous donations will help support professional development for museum professionals. Suggested items include:

Concert/event tickets | Gift baskets | Sports equipment | Hotel stays | Restaurant certificates
Electronics/Gadgets | Works of Art | Jewelry | Sporting event tickets | Excursion/outings
Movie tickets | Cooking classes | Museum gift shop items

To donate an item, please fill out the form below. Bidding will be open September 1–25, 2026 — we encourage you to return and bid in support of Utah's museums once the auction opens.

Thank you! If you have any questions please contact us.
