Media Arts Education and Tumbleweeds Film Festival for Kids – There’s no single way to experience childhood. Tumbleweeds sparks curiosity, fosters belonging, and reflects the diversity of Utah’s youth. As leaders in K–12 media arts education, our team shares best practices that help students, teachers, and families engage thoughtfully with technology and develop creative skills. We inspire kids to turn passion into possibility.
You can help this work grow by becoming a Tumbleweeds Family Sponsor or sign up for our Tumbleweeds newsletter to stay connected and support the next generation of storytellers.
Utah Queer Film Festival – For more than 22 years, the Utah Queer Film Festival (UQFF) has explored LGBTQ+ life, ideas, and art through powerful films and conversations.
