The Washington County Arts Council (WCAC) coordinates and promotes leadership and policies that encourage and foster a strong, vibrant and cohesive arts community for the purpose of enriching the lives of County residents and visitors.

This is primarily through professional development activities, cooperative planning and promotion.

WCAC is planning a Cultural Arts and Recreation Enhancement project (CARE) that would go before County voters in the near future.

The proposed 1/10 of 1% sales tax would hugely benefit both Recreation and Art programs throughout Washington County.

We want Dixie’s population to come together for the benefit of all.

CARE Project

One of the original goals for the Arts Council was to make more funds available for the arts, similar to Salt Lake's ZAP (Zoo Arts & Parks) Tax. The immediate focus is to implement a County-wide tax project which would go before the voters in 2013, to benefit established and new Arts and Recreation Programs throughout Washington County.

Bi-monthly open community meetings continue to be held throughout Washington County to gain feedback from residents for the project. We need everyone to participate in framing this program - Please Join Us!

Following up on gatherings in St. George, Rockville and Ivins, the next community meeting will be held on Monday, June 18, at the Hurricane Fine Arts Center (92 S 100 W) at 5:30pm. All are invited to attend.

This project is supported by the Utah Arts Council, with funding from the State of Utah and the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.
