The mission of the Utah Arts Festival Foundation is to produce the annual Utah Arts Festival for the purpose of promoting the arts and enhancing the quality of life in Utah.

This year we want you to immerse yourself in the arts! Join in the artistic process with our demonstrating artists, work with world-renowned visual artist Jann Haworth, make a hat at the Mad Hatter or bring your instrument and join in our nightly jam sessions at the Round. This year, “take part in the Utah Arts Festival.”
