THANK YOU
The heart of UtahPresents is artists. This year, in the great shifting that was COVID-19, we settled on this simple idea: we pay artists. We pay artists even when live performance is impossible and all must adapt. We pay because creativity has value and everyone deserves to be paid for their labor
As you look through this report, you will see the vast impact your gift has made. We could not have made it through this year without your committed support. Thank you for joining us.

Executive Director UtahPresents
FROM THE ARTIST
When COVID hit, all our engagements for over a year were canceled. Except, we were blessed with this unique invitation from UtahPresents, with which we were able to take up the challenge to create an entirely new form of hybrid media performance. Company artists grieved friends and relatives who were lost during this time, others faced extreme health from fires, while others moved into essential work to get by. But we were able to return every week to being part of a creative vision: learning new media skills, connecting as artistic family, rejuvenating relations with longtime collaborators, contributing to an innovative process that is about using every resource to bring forth a storied theme of envisioning the future.
