UtahPresents

Mission:

UtahPresents, a multi-disciplinary presenter at the University of Utah, brings diverse artistic and cultural experiences to campus and the greater community in order to explore and enrich the human experience through the lens of creativity and the arts.

As stewards of the iconic Kingsbury Hall we provide a valuable gathering space for community events. By building inclusive and meaningful collaborations, UtahPresents connects beyond the stage to encourage curiosity and enhance cultural vibrancy.

Who we serve:

UtahPresents serves three primary audiences.

-University of Utah students, faculty, and staff with a commitment to campus involvement in the arts to enhance the student experience through master classes, lectures, special performances, and access to world-class artists. 

-K-12 students and teachers to supplement arts education in our local schools with matinee performances, classroom visits, assemblies, and provide access to professional development for teachers.

-Utah residents and families with a focus on programming that celebrates the diversity within our community with sensory-friendly performances and all-ages shows that allow families to experience the performing arts together. 

Creative Impact:

UtahPresents contributes to our cultural vibrancy by forging connections for artists to further engage with our community with outreach activities. Annually, we reach an audience of 130,000--inlcuding over 300 teachers who receive professional development training, and nearly 15,000 community members attending our 70+ outreach events each year.
