Utah Arts Council

Established in 1899 by the Third Utah Legislature three years after Utah received statehood, the Utah Arts Council is the primary agency in Utah through which state and national funds combine to stimulate and encourage the arts in the state. The Council distributes funds appropriated directly for the arts by both the Utah State Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts. It acts as a state coordinator and advisor, having an awareness of various programs that might be underway at any given time around the state. The Council assists with professional development where needed and provides direct matching grants to more than 200 nonprofit organizations across the state.

The Utah Arts Council conducts programs, directed by Council staff, which provide more than 500 outreach services (including financial assistance) to schools, local arts councils and organizations, community centers, performing groups and individual artists. Overall the Council serves as a catalyst for arts programming throughout the state, assisting arts organizations, groups and individuals in bringing the arts to the people of Utah.

Locations:
The Utah Arts Council's main offices are located at the historic Glendinning Home, next door to the Governor's Mansion on South Temple. The Folk Arts Program is housed at the Chase Home in the middle of Salt Lake City's Liberty Park. Public Art and Visual Arts Program staffs are housed in the south wing of the Rio Grande Depot.
