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.

Getting to know you.  The following questions are optional questions designed only to understand our friends better so we can provide a more inclusive Festival for all to enjoy. Please scroll to the bottom to skip this section if you don't feel comfortable disclosing this information.

What category below best describes your age range or the age range of your group? (Pick multiple options)
With which gender do you and/or members of your group identify? (pick multiple options) We recognize that there are many ways people identify and what fits you may not be listed, so we have also included the opportunity to self-describe.
Please share your ethnic identity and/or the ethnic identities with which members of your group identify. (pick multiple options) Ethnic identities are much more complex than our list alone could capture so we’ve based the options on how the U.S. Census Bureau collects information.
