Creativity Connected: Your Support Keeps the Arts Alive

In an era of declining public funding for the arts, our community is our greatest strength. Your belief in the power of creativity keeps UtahPresents thriving as a space where art connects us.

A Decade of Impact

We are celebrating our 10th anniversary and are proud of all we have accomplished with your support:

• Nearly 1 million people reached through performances and other programs
• 2,000+ artists from 38 countries connected with our community
• 80,000+ K-12 students served through our school matinees
• Countless experiences of cutting-edge creativity

Art in Action

This season at UtahPresents reflects the variety and purpose of our work:

• ReachUP Day welcomed 1,700 K-12 students from across Utah to Kingsbury Hall for a matinee by Ballet Hispánico, our nation’s leading Latine dance company
• All the way from Ukraine, Kurbasy performed in Utah for the first time, as will Canada’s Cirque Kikasse
• Jazz at Kingsbury Hall continues for a second year, bringing the best in the business here to perform and teach
• Arms Around America, a show about families whose lives have been shaped by guns, is uniting our community through theater

Accessible to All

We believe world-class art should be accessible to everyone, which is why we offer:

• $5 tickets for University of Utah students to all performances
• $10 tickets for anyone to most performances
• Fee waivers and transportation reimbursement for schools attending our matinees
• Free programs including the opening and closing shows this season, workshops, panels, and more

Our Next Decade

We have big dreams for our next decade:

• We will celebrate the centennial of Kingsbury Hall
• Our stage will be graced by the world’s greatest artists in jazz, dance, circus, and every other live arts genre you can imagine
• Through our Stage Door Series, local artists will have resources to make their best and boldest work
• We will be where our community comes together, connected and uplifted by creativity

Your support will make this future possible. Donate today to Creativity Connected, our campaign to raise $75,000 by January.
