Portrait of Utah

If you’re looking for arts, culture and history, “This is the place.”

Utah has been influenced by an eclectic mix of people and cultures since before it officially became a state in 1896. Native American tribes, Mormon pioneers, Latinos, Polynesian and Pacific Islanders, miners and ranchers have all been drawn to this land. Each has added to the rich tapestry of cultural offerings now widely available throughout the state—music, dance, theater, visual arts, performance art and so much more.

Utah is also treasure trove of historic sites, buildings, and artifacts important to the Native American tribes of the region, and to the Mormon pioneers who helped to colonize the state. Learn about Utah’s native tribes, and the unique people who migrated across the country to enjoy religious freedom in greater abundance. You may be surprised at what you discover.
