Holladay Daily: Fine Arts at City Hall and Weekend Culture Picks

Holladay Fine Arts Show brings City Hall to life

The Holladay Fine Arts Show is now open at Holladay City Hall, running February 6–12 with a full afternoon of viewing hours today, Saturday, from noon to 6 p.m. The juried exhibit features student, amateur, and professional artists working in a range of mediums, turning the city’s main building into a pop-up gallery.

Artists from across the valley were invited to submit work, and past editions of the show have drawn hundreds of pieces and strong community turnout. With most works typically available for purchase, the event doubles as a chance to support local creators while enjoying a quiet indoor break from winter weather.

Nearby Lunar New Year celebration this morning

Just east of Holladay, Cottonwood Heights is hosting a Lunar New Year celebration today from 10 a.m. to noon at its city hall on Bengal Boulevard. The free, family-friendly event includes cultural performances and activities meant to welcome the Year of the Horse and highlight Asian arts and traditions.

The short drive makes this a convenient morning outing before or after a visit to the Holladay art show, especially for families looking for something festive but close to home.

Evening culture picks around Salt Lake County

For those willing to head downtown this evening, the Utah Symphony continues its performances of Rachmaninoff’s ‘Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini’ at Abravanel Hall, with acclaimed pianist Sir Stephen Hough at the keyboard. It is one of several marquee arts events drawing Holladay residents into the city this weekend.

Elsewhere on the calendar, a tribute concert honoring singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins is set for Eccles Theater, while smaller theater productions and family programs are scheduled at county venues including the Mid-Valley Performing Arts Center. Together they round out a busy early-February slate of options within an easy drive of Holladay.

Looking ahead at City Hall

City Hall will stay busy once the art comes down. Holladay’s 2026 meeting notice confirms that regular City Council meetings this year are generally planned for the first and third Thursdays, with the next sessions set for February 19 and early March. Briefing sessions typically start in the early evening before the formal meeting, giving residents a chance to follow development, parks, and budget discussions.

Agendas and any changes to the schedule are posted through the state’s public notice system, and residents can subscribe for email updates if they want a reminder when new items appear.
