The monumental earthwork Spiral Jetty (1970) was created by artist Robert Smithson and is located off Rozel Point in the north arm of Great Salt Lake. Made of black basalt rocks and earth gathered from the site, Spiral Jetty is a 15-foot-wide coil that stretches more than 1,500 feet into the lake. It has come to epitomize Land art. Its exceptional art, historical importance, and unique beauty have drawn visitors and media attention from throughout Utah and around the world.
Follow the Spiral Jetty self-guide at your own pace or join UMFA educators and partners for art making and experiential programs! Programming and activities schedule coming soon!
