The Show
The 49th annual Utah Arts Festival is scheduled for June 19–22, 2025, at Library Square in downtown Salt Lake City. Each summer the Utah Arts Festival transforms downtown Salt Lake City, attracting 35,000+ attendees and generating close to $1 million in art sales. Being one of the only remaining multi-disciplinary events in the nation, we strive to combine high quality artistic presentations bringing together the best local, regional and national talent across all programs. We proudly present four days of award-winning fine arts in the artist marketplace, more than 100 live music performances, dance, literary and street theater performances along various stages throughout the grounds, as well as an internationally recognized short film program, urban arts program, a children’s art yard filled with free make-and-take projects, demonstrating artists, workshops and a wide variety of culinary and beverage options.
New in 2025
We’re adding back Thursday evening from 5pm to 11pm at a discounted price for attendees. We will bring back free admission for children age 12 and under, as well as offer discounted ticket prices for those arriving in our less attended, earlier hours on Friday afternoon. We’re also working on a completely updated site layout and re-tooling programming to enhance the patron and participant experience.
Application
Visual Artist Applications for the 2025 Utah Arts Festival Artist Marketplace are accepted online through www.zapplication.org.
If you are already a member of Zapplication, go directly to the The Utah Arts Festival Zapplication page.
There is a $45 fee to apply to the show and artists who are juried in will pay a $600 booth fee ($700 for corner booths) for the 4-day festival.
The Utah Arts Festival is working to ensure we balance tradition and innovation. The number of consecutive years an artist has participated in the Utah Arts Festival will be taken into consideration as part of the final selection process. The Utah Arts Festival reserves the right to “rest” an artist for one year after three consecutive years of participation.
