    Salt Lake City Arts Council

    The Salt Lake City Arts Council connects artists and the public by producing a number of programs in the performing, visual, literary and folk arts. The City Arts Council also provides grants to a rich and diverse group of programs produced throughout Salt Lake City, ranging from ethnic arts clubs to galleries and studios to major performing arts organizations to literary reading series and to elementary schools that invite artists to work with students in the classroom.

    The Salt Lake City Arts Council produces the Twilight Concert Series, presenting national and international touring artists at weekly concerts in July and August at a downtown public plaza; the Brown Bag Concert Series, presenting local performing artists weekdays at lunchtime throughout the summer; a year-round visual arts exhibition program at the Art Barn in Reservoir Park; Guest Writers Series, monthly literary readings held at the Art Barn in partnership with the University of Utah; and the Living Traditions Festival, a three-day folklife festival that celebrates the traditional music, foods, dance and crafts from the many ethnic communities that make Salt Lake their home. The Arts Council also manages the Art Barn, a community art center and gallery space for over 75 years; Salt Lake City's public art program; and City Arts Grants, providing direct support to a wide range of arts programs and activities occurring in the city.

    Through the arts, the Salt Lake City Arts Council ensures that Utah's capital city is a vibrant, creative and active community, supporting a comprehensive menu of arts activities for people in every age group and from every background, recognizing that the arts in one form or another provide excitement, challenge and satisfaction to people with a wide variety of interests.

        This is a great concert series but would be much improved with a larger venue. The Gallivan Center is much too small considering the popularity of the event series and the quality of most of the performers. How did the Gallivan Center become so overbuilt? Collapse
