Help Select our Artists - Participate in a Jury!

The Utah Arts Festival is looking for interested individuals to serve on our various artist juries.

 

We're looking for jurors to review visual, performing, literary, culinary and film applications. Juries are a critical element helping to shape what you hear, see, feel and experience at the Utah Arts Festival. While some experience or knowledge of different genres and mediums is important and helpful to the process, so is having passion for art and enjoying what it brings to our lives.

 

The Utah Arts Festival is a community event that is dedicated to presenting high quality arts of all kinds. To make this possible we need a variety of voices and perspectives engaged in the discussions.

 

Please note that you are ineligible to participate on a jury if you have submitted an application as an artist in that medium.
