The Friends of Topaz Museum is happy to announce May 2-4, 2024, as the dates of our 2024 Topaz Art Pilgrimage! This pilgrimage will pay tribute to the 11,212 people of Japanese descent who were incarcerated at the WWII American concentration camp at Topaz and will explore the legacy of the artists of Topaz.

The pilgrimage will be held in conjunction with the groundbreaking exhibition, Pictures of Belonging: Miki Hayakawa, Hisako Hibi, and Miné Okubo, curated by ShiPu Wang and presented by the Japanese American National Museum, that premiers at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA). The exhibit will tour nationally from 2024-2027, opening on February 24, 2024 at UMFA in Salt Lake City, UT.

On May 2 & 3 in Salt Lake City, we will offer tours and presentations highlighting Topaz artists, as well as the extensive Japanese American history of the Salt Lake City area. On Saturday May 4, bus transportation will be available from Salt Lake City to Delta for a day trip to the Topaz Museum and the historic Topaz site.
