The Helper Arts, Music and Film Festival’s mission is to encourage art and culture in Carbon County, support the local artist community, stimulate and enrich the local economy through the arts, and to educate and give access to art for everyone, regardless of income level or art experience. The Festival endeavors to not only put on a great Festival, but to bring the arts to the community throughout the year as much as possible.  Supported by a committed group of volunteers, the Festival continues to evolve in order to provide a well-rounded experience to all patrons including but not limited to music, visual arts, photography, ceramics, woodworking, film and performance art. Over the course of the third weekend in August, patrons can enjoy great music, catch a film and purchase fine art! The Festival’s original purpose was focused on revitalizing Main Street and supporting local artisans.
