Dear Artist Community,

We are writing with an update regarding the 2026 Moab Arts Festival.

As many of you know, the committee that stewarded the Moab Arts Festival for the past 30 years have officially retired. As a result, the festival will be taking a hiatus in 2026.

While this pause is bittersweet, we are pleased to share that a new committee is currently being formed to guide the future of the festival. We appreciate your continued support and engagement. As with any newly established group, the committee will need time to become oriented, review historical materials, and develop a shared understanding of its goals and responsibilities. With this thoughtful groundwork in place, we anticipate the Moab Arts Festival will return in 2027. Dates and venue details will be announced once confirmed.

If you would like to share input or are interested in serving on the committee, please call 435-259-2742 or email [email protected]. We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.

For your information, we have listed a few of the arts shows in and around Moab that you may be interested in as well:

Grassroots Shakespeare is returning to the Moab Arts Festival!

Grassroots Shakespeare is an Original Practice company. They do Shakespeare the way that Shakespeare did Shakespeare:

🎭 No director! Casting, costuming and staging are all done collaboratively.

🎭 No fourth wall! All of the dialogue and action is presented straight to the audience, inviting their response.

🎭 Very little rehearsal! In Shakespeare’s day, actors were expected to memorize their individual parts and put on a show within days - this makes their shows more spontaneous with genuine reactions.

Grassroots Shakespeare will be performing at 4pm on both days of the Moab Arts Festival, with Comedy of Errors on Saturday and Romeo and Juliet on Sunday. Find them in the southwest corner of the park - You won't want to miss it!
