The U’s famous Arts Bash event is known as your “passport to the arts” for two reasons, one a little more literal than the other:
When you attend, you grab a passport — and maybe some free food — and collect stamps by visiting a bunch of cool booths on Library Plaza, probably snagging even more swag. Then, when your
passport is full of stamps, you can redeem it for a free t-shirt, swag, and a chance to win a huge prize pack that includes an iPad (check out the details below)!- By visiting the booths, you’ll learn when, where, and what types of transformative arts experiences you can access on campus as a student at the University of Utah.
About arts at the U
The arts at the U have been a pillar of the creativity that makes our campus vibrant and innovative since 1850 — more than 175 years of artistic exploration, making, and culture. And each year we party hard in celebration of the hundreds of arts experiences U students have access to for free or deeply discounted prices through the Arts Pass program — all you need is your UCard.
