The Juab Fine Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Mission Statement#
The purpose of the Juab Fine Arts Council (JFAC) is to promote cultural growth and experiences in Juab County through all forms of fine art; we will do this by assisting artists, arts organizations, and groups (i.e., schools) with arts-oriented projects and events and through the JFAC Internet Website.
Fine Arts is defined as purity of the discipline of visual & performing arts (i.e., music, painting, sculpture, dance, theater, architecture, literature, crafts, textiles, photography, etc).
A Brief History#
JFAC was established in 2001 by three dedicated women: Chelom Leavitt, Tana Esplin, and Joye Cannell. The quality performers and entertainers who have performed through JFAC in Nephi include Michael McLean, BYU Ballroom Dancers, Jericho Road, The Young Ambassadors, Voice Male, The BYU Folk Dancers, Missoula Children’s Theater, and musicians from the Utah Symphony.
