Franklin S. Harris Fine Arts Center
The Franklin S. Harris Fine Arts Center (HFAC) is the main location for Brigham Young University's (BYU) College of Fine Arts and Communications, housing most of the college's departments and divisions. It consists of several named stages and concert spaces, as well as classrooms, study rooms, painting studios, theatre work rooms, and faculty offices. The arts center was inaugurated in 1964. The HFAC was designed by architect William Pereira in the modernist style popular at the time of its construction. The building is notable for its dramatic multi-floor, open, interior atrium that serves as an exhibition gallery and an acoustically-resonate space for occasional concerts. The building’s entrances feature four dramatic open patios. The patios’ open design maximizes natural light to multiple wings and creates exterior workspaces for students. The HFAC is located immediately to the south of the Museum of Art, and just north of the Wilkinson Student Center. In 2022, BYU ...

Performing Arts Centers In Utah
A performance is an act of staging or presenting a play, concert, or other form of entertainment. It is also defined as the action or process of carrying out or accomplishing an action, task, or function. Management science In the work place, job performance is the hypothesized conception or requirements of a role. There are two types of job performances: contextual and task. Task performance is dependent on cognitive ability, while contextual performance is dependent on personality. Task performance relates to behavioral roles that are recognized in job descriptions and remuneration systems.

Arts Centers In Utah
The arts are a very wide range of human practices of creative expression, storytelling and cultural participation. They encompass multiple diverse and plural modes of thinking, doing and being, in an extremely broad range of media. Both highly dynamic and a characteristically constant feature of human life, they have developed into innovative, stylized and sometimes intricate forms. This is often achieved through sustained and deliberate study, training and/or theorizing within a particular tradition, across generations and even between civilizations. The arts are a vehicle through which human beings cultivate distinct social, cultural and individual identities, while transmitting values, impressions, judgments, ideas, visions, spiritual meanings, patterns of life and experiences across time and space. Prominent examples of the arts include: * visual arts (including architecture, ceramics, drawing, filmmaking, painting, photography, and sculpting), * literary arts (incl ...
