The Utah Arts Festival produces the largest annual outdoor multidisciplinary event in Utah. Over three days, we transform Library Square into a bustling canvas of creativity, where families gather, artists shine, and memories are made. Our mission is to promote the arts and enhance the quality of life in Utah. We strive to maintain the highest artistic quality in our production and programming, re

present excellence among a range of artistic mediums, and promote an appreciation for fine art while encouraging innovation and supporting non-traditional, contemporary works.

The best gifts come from local artists. 🎁

December is packed with holiday markets across Utah featuring artists, makers, and creators whose work you won't find anywhere else. Skip the big box stores this year and find something more meaningful-pottery, jewelry, art, ornaments, and more made by people in your own community.

Check out our list of local holiday markets where you can shop from local artists and tell us, how many do you think you can hit? 😉

Meet Friends of the Festival Award of Merit winner, Richard Curtner! Richard's been a Festival artist for years, and we finally got the chance to sit down with him during the 2025 Utah Arts Festival.

He walked us through his unique medium, where his inspiration comes from, and how he got started.

If you visited this year’s Kids Art Yard, you experienced the “Frozen Spaces” theme firsthand. Kids tried all kinds of frozen-themed art activities, including coloring pages featuring animals and landscapes from the world’s coldest regions.

Maggie Willis, our Kids Art Yard Coordinator, launched a Kickstarter (running through December 3rd) to turn these coloring pages into a published coloring book! Plus, a portion of every book sold goes directly to Arctic and Antarctic conservation. ❄️

The goal is $5,100 to print coloring books, postcards, stickers, and tattoos that’ll be sold in galleries and bookshops. You can pledge any amount- $1, $5, $200, whatever works for you. Higher pledges get you the books, postcards, stickers, and even original art.

One catch: Kickstarter is all or nothing. If the full goal isn’t met by December 3rd, the project doesn’t happen.

Check out the Kickstarter at our link in bio and support if you can!
