The Utah Art Festival starts on Thursday and runs through Sunday. We have selected a few local artists that you can check out while you are there.
Why it matters: The largest art festival in the state mostly features out of state work.
In numbers: About 70 of the approximately 180 artist booths will be displaying Utahns’ work.
