The Craft Lake City DIY Festival was awarded 2013 Best of State award for Fairs, Festivals and Events!
August 2013 will mark the fifth year of the Craft Lake City DIY Festival, which was started in 2009 by Anglea H. Brown, Editor and Publisher of SLUG Magazine.
The organization believes Utah’s unique crafting history and cultural background provides a fertile foundation for the local alternative arts community to grow and flourish, and seeks to strengthen and support it through various activities. Craft Lake City facilitates local arts and crafts throughout the year, providing artists of all mediums with the chance to promote themselves and their work, and also educates the community on the local Do-it-Yourself (DIY) culture through workshops, demonstrations, gallery shows, science and technology events and fundraisers.
Since 2009, Craft Lake City has hosted the largest DIY Festival in Utah. In 2012, over 15,000 people attended. Craft Lake City is excited to announce that the annual DIY gathering will be expanding into a two-day format on Friday, August 9 and Saturday, August 10, 2013 at the Gallivan Center.
