Volunteer Application

Thank you for your interest in being a volunteer at the Utah Arts Festival! It takes more than 1,000 volunteers to help us build, run and tear down the event and there’s no way the Festival would happen without volunteers! You are truly the life blood of the Utah Arts Festival!
