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 math doesn't lie 🎟️

Every Festival ticket you buy is already discounted thanks to our incredible sponsors. What you pay for admission is not even close to what it actually costs to put on an event of this scale.

Our sponsors make it possible to keep tickets affordable, provide free admission for kids 12 and under, pay every single performing artist, and create an experience that remains accessible to our community members.

To every sponsor who helped make the Utah Arts Festival possible: thank you for understanding that investing in the arts means investing in our community.

The Street Theater really stole the show and captivated Festival attendees this year! We hope you had a chance to snap a pic with Voodoo Productions living masterpieces and towering stilt walkers and watch their ballerinas and contortionists!

The Utah Arts Festival hosts tens of thousands of attendees, all who are fed by our catering partners or culinary artists. But even a crowd this big creates leftovers. Our mission is to create a space for our community to experience art, but we also strive to be sustainable.

Instead of throwing out our leftover food, we partnered with Waste Less Solutions, a local nonprofit who helps decrease food waste by rescuing food and redistributing it to those in need. They estimated that almost 1,000 pounds of food was rescued from the Festival!

We're so grateful for community partners who help us waste less and help others. If you're hosting a big event and want to decrease waste, definitely reach out to our friends at Waste Less Solutions!

The 22nd Fear No Film Festival has spoken! 🎬

From the Grand Jury Prize to Audience Awards, these winners represent the incredible talent that submitted films from around the world to our international short film festival.

Congratulations to every winner and thank you to all the filmmakers who trusted us with their stories. You reminded us why we "fear no film" - because great storytelling knows no boundaries.

During the warm summer days of the Festival, kids were cooling off in the Frozen Spaces-themed Kids Art Yard! Thank you to all our nonprofit partners who provided make-and-take art projects and interactive art experiences for our youngest patrons.

Many adults return to the Festival reminiscing about the impactful exposure they had to art when they visited as children. Art is important for everyone, and it's never too soon to try a new art form or discover a creative passion that could last a lifetime.

200+ performances across four days and somehow each one felt different. The headliners brought their A-game, the local acts proved why they belong on these stages, and every single performer reminded us why live music hits different.

This is your reminder that recorded music is great, but live music is necessary.
