Invest in Your Community through Arts Education

Oct 25, 2024

Since launching OCA Artist Factory in the spring of 2022, our community partnerships began with one organization, one location in Ogden, roughly forty-two students, and five professional teaching artists. In just over two years, our partnerships have expanded to seven organizations, thirteen locations in Ogden, Roy, and Farmington, over one thousand students, more than fourty local teaching artists, and we’ve hosted ten visiting artist workshops.

In 2022 we also launched Artist Factory Tours, where we’ve led local schools and universities, after-school programs, art organizations, and caregiving organizations on exhibition tours, accompanied by art activities inspired by our exhibitions. These tours have proven to be one of our most popular programs.

At Ogden Contemporary Arts, our vision is to empower artists with the facilities, environment, and experience to excel in their medium and enrich their lives, and that includes our local youth. Our goal is to continue to grow our youth arts education programming, strengthen our impact, support local artists and teachers, and give our youth the ability to think creatively, develop original ideas, and understand the importance of collaboration. Arts education gives these youth the tools and confidence needed to succeed in whatever career path they choose. Ultimately, they become more well-rounded and capable members of our community.

We do not pursue this vision alone. As a donor, you are investing in our community through arts education.

Whether you can give $5 or $5,000, a gift of any amount is greatly appreciated. Another way you can support is through our Artist Factory Walmart Registry.
