The mission of the Arts Council is to promote, present, and support artists, arts organizations, and arts activities in order to further the development of the arts community and to benefit the public by expanding awareness, access, and participation.
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. 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.
