St. George anchors southwestern Utah's rapidly growing Washington County, a retirement and tourism destination surrounded by the extraordinary landscape of the Colorado Plateau - Zion National Park, Snow Canyon State Park, and the red rock formations of the Virgin River corridor. The Dixie Center for the Arts and the St. George Art Museum provide institutional support for a visual arts community that is growing alongside the city's population, and the downtown gallery district along Tabernacle Street reflects the region's particular landscape painting tradition. St. George's proximity to Zion, just 40 minutes away, means the city's gallery scene benefits from the significant tourist traffic passing through on the way to one of the most visited national parks in the United States.
