Salt Lake County has named the 22 nonprofit arts organizations that will get $15.3 million from the Zoo, Arts and Parks program — but a couple of groups that were at the top last year are missing from the new list.
Based on statute and policy, the ZAP program funds up to 22 arts organizations, plus three zoological entities, for Tier I status every year. They are chosen based on the amount of their annual expenditures, and their impact on the local economy.
Two organizations that were Tier I recipients for 2019 missed the cut for 2020.
