Craft Lake City DIY Festival is Utah’s largest local-centric, three-day arts festival, created by locals for locals and celebrating all things local. Featuring the do-it-yourself culture all at your Utah State Fairpark.
Burning Man is an eight-day-long annual festival that takes place in Black Rock City, a temporary city on the playa of the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, 90 miles (150 km) north-northeast of Reno, ending on the American Labor Day holiday in September.
The event is described by organizers as an experiment in community, radical self-expression, and radical self-reliance and takes its name from the ritual of burning a large wooden sculpture of a man on the sixth day.
The Utah Arts Festival is the largest outdoor multidisciplinary arts event in Utah. It has garnered numerous awards internationally, nationally, and locally. UAF Photo —Utah Agenda
More than 80,000 patrons enjoy four days of award-winning fine arts in the Artist Marketplace, live performances on five stages, local and international street theater, a short film festival, a fine arts exhibition, and culinary delights.
Children are fully immersed in the arts at the Art Yard, where local nonprofits create hands-on projects; teenagers have an opportunity to explore their creative sides at the Urban Arts venue, and Artists At Work showcases the talents of local artist guilds as they set up and create art on-site.
Thanksgiving Point, a scenic cultural gathering place, will offer its 55-acre garden and other property venues as a canvas to more than 30 local artists in its annual Plein Air Festival, Sept. 8-10. Painters and sculptors will spread out across the 300-acre space to create works of art in the open air where spectators can watch, interact and learn from their talent.
“Our Gardens have proved to be an inspiring venue for the local talent and we are pleased once again to offer the Gardens as well as our other inspiring venues Farm Country, the Museum of Ancient Life and Water Tower Plaza as subject matter for the artists,” said Blake Wigdahl, director of programming at Thanksgiving Point. “Plein air is an exercise in fine art for the artists as well as the spectators.”
