Location:

50 N CENTER ST STE 4, AMERICAN FORK, UT 84003, US

Mission Statement

1. Grow artistic talent It is within the walls of our future art gallery, performance theatre, dance studios, classrooms and offices that growth will occur on a constant, and ever-evolving basis. 2. Commitment to Community Culture Cultivating an environment of creativity inherently builds a community of support and pride. The act of sitting together and sharing a live performance unites the audience, for a time, in the struggles and dreams of a common vision. We hope to build upon this sense of community throughout Utah Valley through educational programs that inspire the next generation of artists and theatergoers. 3. Revitalizing Downtown American Fork The Utah Valley area is growing exponentially. The renovation of the Harrington School will revitalize the downtown area of American Fork City. Such a large attraction will benefit restaurants and businesses through attendance, location, and traffic exposure.
