ABOUT ZION CANYON ART FESTIVAL

OUR VISION

Zion Canyon Art Festival's vision is to promote art and creativity in our community while honoring the unique beauty of Zion canyon. 

We aim to provide a platform for emerging artists and offer opportunities for visitors and artists alike, whatever the medium. 

Events are an important way to stay connected, now more than ever, and we hope to be a resource for the arts in Zion for generations to come.

OUR TEAM

Our team is made up of dedicated and talented individuals who share a commitment to our mission. We're proud to say we've grown as a group of friends who shared a passion for the arts, into an experienced and talented family of individuals that have hosted and organized a wide range of programs, events, and exhibitions globally as well as in Springdale.


Team building is ongoing as this event is a grassroots endeavor, so we look forward to hearing from you or your organization.

OUR HISTORY

Founded officially in 2025, Zion Canyon Art Festival was actually conceptualized many years ago as a tribute to the father of one of the organizers. Their family has lived in Zion canyon from the time it was settled by the Latter Day Saints, eventually building Allred's Cafe (aka the Pioneer Lodge). Over the years they have hosted a myriad of art and music events. 


"Growing up in Zion, I've always wanted to give back to this incredible community that's given so much to me."  Adrienne Gates, Stand Up Art
