Utah Humanities Council

The Utah Humanities Council provides lifelong learning through programs that explore diverse traditions, values, and ideas. its programs help everyone understand the past, participate fully in the present, and actively shape the future.

Since its establishment in 1975 as an independent nonprofit agency, The Utah Humanities Council and its programs have reached every corner of the state, involving thousands of people as planners, participants, and audiences. Nonprofit organizations such as libraries, historical societies, museums, local arts and humanities councils, civic and service organizations, public radio and television stations, educational institutions, local and state government agencies, ad hoc groups, and others collaborate with the council. While they seek to serve the entire state, they occasionally undertake temporary initiatives that focus on selected topics, targeted audiences, or geographic locations.

Featured Organizations

	Tell-a-friend Park City Performing Arts Foundation Their story is one of humble beginnings, grand aspirations, luck, learning and incredible community support. In the mid-1990s, a small group of savvy locals came up with a scheme to partner with Park City School District in building a state-of-the-art theater. In 1998, after tremendous fundraising efforts, the theater opened its doors as The George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Center for the Performing Arts. Park City Performing Arts Foundation has filled the center with dance, music, theater, comedy, children's productions and authors every year since then. In recent years, they have also plunged into outdoor concerts, presenting "Big Stars,…

This is done with the belief and understanding that arts activities, events and education provide for general community well-being while contributing to economic diversity. In the "big…

	Tell-a-friend Jazz Arts of the Mountainwest You don't have to be a jazz enthusiast, a historian, a great patriot, or have an interest in America's youth to find an interest in Jazz Arts of the Mountainwest (JAM). That might be a good start. However, the JAM supporter is envisioned as someone who simply enjoys all types of live contemporary music, mainstream jazz, pop, or rock, an aficionado who acknowledges jazz (and related music) as one of the only original American art forms, a historian who enjoys tracing the fascinating history of American music to its roots in Africa and Europe, or one who recognizes the importance…
