WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
SHOW UP
Spy Hop hosts events all through the year where you can see a student film screening, hear a live band, watch a video game demo, sit in on a Q&A, and witness what young people are capable of when someone gives them the tools and the room to create.
Showing up tells a kid their work is worth seeing. That their voice carries. That the community is paying attention. The ripple goes far. Communities that show up for their artists see stronger schools, more connected neighborhoods, and real economic growth.
DONATE
If access to arts programs in Utah is important to you, donate today to help extend our reach. Your gift does something simple and powerful: it gives a young person the tools and space to find their voice. It helps a filmmaker tell their first story. A musician write their first song. A quiet kid find a place where they belong and people who listen. No red tape. No barriers. Just real support that changes lives.
And here’s what happens: those voices grow louder. Those stories reach further. That next generation? They start imagining and creating a better world.
