The National Endowment for the Arts awarded a $964,500 Project Grant to the Utah Division of Arts and Museums to support arts programs, services, and activities associated with carrying out the agency's approved strategic plan from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025. This grant is provided through the Promotion of the Arts Partnership Agreements program (CFDA 45.025), which develops and maintains partnerships between the National Endowment for the Arts and state/regional arts organizations to advance the agency's mission.

As Utah's state arts agency, the Division delivered subawards to partner organizations such as Utah Festival Opera, Utah Film Center, and Utah Symphony & Opera to support their arts programming, services, and strategic initiatives aligned with the National Endowment for the Arts' priorities. This included funding for commissions and performances of new musical works, general operating expenses, and other initiatives to increase arts access and education across Utah.
