Lehi City Arts Center
Lehi, Utah
After the John Hutchings Museum of Natural History moved to the Memorial Building in 1996, the former museum was renovated and reopened as the Lehi City Arts Center. Limited by its 100-seat auditorium with a combined green and dressing room, the Lehi Arts Council announced plans in 1998 for a new performing arts complex with a 1,800 seat Broadway theater, a smaller 248-seat theater, and a theater-in-the-round. Pledges were secured for $6 million of the necessary $15 million, but fund-raising grew difficult due to competition from other Utah County arts initiatives and the 2002 Winter Olympics Games. In 2003, Lehi City unveiled a $150,000 renovation of the existing arts center.

Enforce school alcohol ban, state urges
Deseret News, 8 November 1997, page B1
Article Summary:
The state school board wants the Utah Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission to reject a proposal by the Eccles Performing Arts Center to serve alcoholic beverages when it hosts non-school day civic events in an auditorium it shares with Park City High School. Art center officials believe they should be able to serve alcoholic beverages to adults attending performances, art exhibits, or special events such as the Sundance Film Festival. Eccles Art Center officials had envisioned seeking short-term permits for such functions.
