Art is walking. Life. It's light. It's everything to me!

Arts Education
“We need a system that grounds all students in pleasure, beauty, and wonder.”
- Dana Gioia, chairman of the National Endowments for the Arts
HCM works closely with the Utah Arts Council, the Kimball Arts Center, and a wide variety of local artists to provide fun folkloric arts and crafts for students in our youth programs. Kids tell stories, dance in traditional Latin American styles, make paper flowers, design websites, sing, and act onstage in activities throughout the year.
Every child deserves a chance to develop their creative minds. Our art programs provide opportunities for expression and for pride in the cultural heritage of our students.
