Thank you to the Utah Film Center for letting us stop by with Mayor Mendenhall! The Utah Film Center is a nonprofit organization that harnesses the power of the moving image through film exhibition, media arts education, and artist support to connect with communities across Utah. 🎞️ If you’re an artist seeking resources, be sure to check out their Artist Foundry program, which offers co-working spaces, editing bays, networking and job opportunities, workshops, and more. 🎥 The Utah Film Center was a recipient of an American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant provided by the Department of Economic Development.

Meet our Economic Development Team! The work we do wouldn’t be possible without their dedication, expertise, and passion for our Salt Lake community. ❤️ Also, a big thank you to Mayor Mendenhall and the SLC Employee Advisory Board for organizing this wonderful event for all city employees!
