After a two-year Covid hiatus, the Utah Arts Festival has returned to downtown Salt Lake City, June 23 – 26, with six stages, more than 170 artists and 200 performances. Here’s a taste:
Artists of all mediums show off their talent, ensuring you’ll be able to find something for everyone’s creative tastes.

There are plenty of options to cool off in the summer sun with unique snack offerings such as Nuku’s frozen kabobs drizzled with chocolate.
Or try The Rolling Pineapple’s delightful frozen drinks.
Terry Scopes and Abigail Crow paint delicate florals so lifelike the singing garden in Alice in Wonderland comes to mind.
The face-painting booth is situated right next to the interactive Art Yard, ensuring littles and adults alike have a blast.
Heather Hopkins recently received her BA in Art History from the University of Utah. She is also an arts writer for Southwest Contemporary. When she isn’t lost in a museum or art gallery, she can be found hiking and camping with her wife and their cat.

What a delightful piece! Can’t make the fest this year and almost feel I’ve been there, done that. Thanks, Heather Hopkins! (Please keep your cat out of the foothills — hungry mountain lions be there!) (Cool that you have a camping cat, though.)
