Application Assistance Days are an initiative of Craft Lake City’s DIY Festival Inclusion Program. Craft Lake City developed the DIY Festival Inclusion Program as part of our overall diversity and inclusion strategy. The goal of the DIY Festival Inclusion Program is to support individuals from underrepresented and/or socially or economically excluded communities in order to provide the entire community with opportunities to creatively and economically thrive.
Application Assistance Days are funded in part by grants from the Lawrence T. & Janet T. Dee Foundation and Salt Lake City’s Arts, Culture and Events Fund. Craft Lake City funds the remainder of the program via the DIY Festival budget. If you are interested in donating to or sponsoring this program or one of the other initiatives of the DIY Festival Inclusion Program, contact angela[at]craftlakecity.com.
