About Us

Utah's Catalyst for Connection


The Utah Department of Cultural & Community Engagement listens, connects, inspires, and empowers Utahns to see themselves in the past, present, and future of our state. Through the ongoing work of our divisions, we provide opportunities to learn, lead, celebrate, and create — because we believe that those who engage will, in turn, contribute to the well-being and success of their communities and of Utah.
