Large paintings hang in the Utah County Administration Building.

"Art has a real place in public buildings and the workplace," Provo City Library Director Gene Nelson said. (The library has a gallery on the third floor.)

The most notable artist on display is Frank Salzbury, who painted pioneer scenes about a century ago. The library also has a bust of Brigham Young by Arnold Fairbanks.

"I think it relaxes, stimulates and engages," Nelson said. "all good emotions."

Other Utah County businesses that display art in the workplace include Central Bank, the Harvest Restaurant at Thanksgiving Point and Megleby's restaurant.
