Horne Fine Art continues a family tradition of promoting fine art in Utah which dates back to the nineteenth century. In 1898, Karen Horneâ??s great-grandmother, Alice Merrill Horne, ran for the 3rd Utah Legislature specifically to advance the arts agenda. Once elected, she authored legislation to create the Utah Arts Institute (now the Utah Arts Council), the first state-sponsored arts agency in the nation. Her support and promotion of early Utah artists took many forms. She established a state art collection, now numbering over 1,200 works, she established 37 collections of Utah Art in public schools, and she presented exhibitions in numerous venues such as the ZCMI Tiffin Room and the Newhouse Hotel.
