The Chase Home Museum of Utah Folk Arts is home to contemporary and traditional artifacts from the traditional communities living in the state of Utah. The four galleries of the museum present Native American artifacts, Rural Folk Art, Ethnic Folk Art, and Occupation Folk Art from around the state.

In 1899, the Utah State Legislature established the Utah Art Institute, predecessor of the Utah Arts Council, and mandated the annual purchase of art for a permanent state collection. In 1976 the Council's Folk Arts Program was established and the state collection soon grew to include not only paintings and sculpture, but also quilts, rugs, woodcarvings, needlework, American Indian crafts and a variety of other traditional and ethnic art forms.  Today, there are over 300 objects in the State Folk Arts Collection.
