Our history
Susan and Dave Neidert founded The Brigham City Fine Arts Center in 1999 with a vision to provide a safe, positive, and artistic outlet for the teens in our community, especially those from low-income homes. Susan shares, "Our goal was to promote the power of art for all ages, from preschoolers to older adults, and to create opportunities that bring families together, inspire creativity, and encourage youth to collaborate."
With a deep love for puppetry, one of Susan's first dreams was to establish a unique museum dedicated to this art form. In 2000, The World of Puppetry Museum was born, showcasing the history and artistry of puppetry. Puppets, which have been used for centuries to convey stories and messages, are powerful tools for telling tales from other cultures and times, and for reflecting our own values and emotions.
Since its early days, The Fine Arts Center has grown to offer a wide range of programs. We now provide after-school classes in art, theater, music, and puppetry, along with summer camps, evening and weekend classes for adults and high school students, and preschool story time. Our theater programs have expanded, and we now produce seven plays and musicals each year, catering to a variety of age groups. There's truly something for everyone, and we are proud to continue our mission of using the arts to build community and inspire creativity.
Please help us continue this opportunity and movement. Donate, Volunteer, or Get involved!
Our mission
The Fine Arts Center is a 501 C(3) non profit organization dedicated to "Empowering lives through the Arts". We do this by promoting and providing affordable fine arts opportunities for youth and families in the community. Our goals have been to teach arts skills, inspire creativity, support local artists, and give youth and families a place they can enjoy feeling feel a part of. We strongly believe art can help build respect for self and community and make our community a better place to live. Initiated in 1999, we now see 8,000 to 10,000 people attending various classes and programs annually for 1 to 20 hours of participation.
