We can’t believe that 2015 marks our fifteenth year of XMission sponsoring the Utah Arts Festival! The Festival kicks off at Library Square on Thursday, June 25 and runs through Sunday, June 28. XMission will once again sponsor the popular Hospitality Patio<\/a>! <\/p>\n

This year, the Festival has partnered with KUER (another friend of XMission) and RadioWest to host the Creative Utah Project: a series of art challenges designed to help participants discover their inner artist.
