Utah Arts Council Arts Educators

The Arts Education (AE) program of the Utah Arts Council (UAC) provides opportunities for artists and artistic groups to work as artists/educators within schools, museums, art centers, social service agencies, colleges, universities, hospitals, festivals, community recreational facilities and other nonprofit organizations. AE is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Utah Legislature and local sponsoring organizations.

The “Utah Arts Council Arts Educators” roster is the recommended source of artists for the Utah Arts Council grantees who are funded for residencies, projects and events. Once accepted into the roster, artists may choose the specific activities from the following categories in which they would like to participate. This information, along with an artist statement and photograph, is made available to the public on NowPlayingUtah.com.
