VIEW SCHEDULE & PROGRAM DETAILS

Over the past two years, Utah’s cultural industry has become stronger as we have risen together to face multiple challenges. We have pivoted, reimagined, and become more flexible than ever before by responding to an ever-changing set of circumstances. These experiences have shown we are stronger when working together toward a common goal.

In response to your feedback, Utah Cultural Alliance Foundation is excited to host the inaugural Culture Connect on June 29-30, 2022 at the Mid-Valley Performing Arts Center in Taylorsville. This two-day gathering for those working in the cultural industry will build connections while improving individuals' professional and business acumen throughout the industry. Plus because we are the cultural industry you can expect we will have fun while we do it! 

As with so many things in the past couple of years, this event represents a shift in our industry. Utah Arts & Museums (UA&M) is excited to partner with and support Utah Cultural Alliance in this new endeavor. Culture Connect will expand on the Utah Division of Arts & Museums' (UA&M) annual Mountain West Arts Conference.
