The 2010 Utah Arts Festival takes over downtown Salt Lake City June 24-27 at Library Square (210 E. 400 South). I interviewed Eugenie Hero-Jaffe and Jocelyn Kearl, official tweeters for the festival.

@MartyFoy This year you have a spiffy new Iphone app; what does it do and how do locals get it?
@UtahArtsFest The app lets you browse the festival schedule by day, time, stage, and genre; you can create your own personal schedule.
