EVENT INFORMATION
West Jordan, Utah is nestled on the west side of the Wasatch Mountains, situated in the heart of Salt Lake County, the fastest-growing county in the state.
Easy access to both Interstate 15 and Interstate 215 and a well-governed city have contributed to the steady growth of this thriving community.
A new public art program has been created to reimagine and support art related growth for the community. An extension of the West Jordan Arts, the Cultural Arts Society of West Jordan is a 501-3c non-profit developed to bring the arts to the west side of the Salt Lake valley. Performing arts, musical arts, visual arts, and literary arts all combine to envelop the community with many types of cultural arts.
With perfect late-spring temperatures (average 65.7 degrees high, 43.3 degrees low), we are looking forward to an outstanding event.
ABOUT THE SHOW
As the West Jordan Visual Arts continues to grow and to accommodate more attendees, we’ve added our Arts in the Park to the West Jordan Veterans Memorial Park with engaging activities spanning around the park. We will be open April 29, 2023 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. In addition to our artist booths, we’ve created an inviting live performance stage and eating area, invited the Food Truck League, imagined fun kids ARTivities, and added live mural arts to encourage younger generations to dive into the arts. We are also inviting local crafters to join our event.
We are aggressively marketing the event and focusing strategies to include high-end, art-educated buyers. In March, frequent social media highlights featuring artists, performers, and event updates will generate excitement and promote the event. Between Salt Lake County's rapid growth and West Jordan’s strong art ties, our event is positioned to become the premier kickoff to the summer arts festivals in the state.
