About Davis Arts Council: 

The Davis Arts Council (DAC) was founded in 1979 and has grown steadily to proudly serve the Northern Wasatch Front as the largest community-based, arts-focused non-profit organization in Davis County.  DAC’s mission is to “strengthen and enrich our community through the power of the arts.”

The heart of our mission rests on a starry summer night at the Edward A. Kenley Centennial Amphitheater (the Kenley Amphitheater), which we consider to be the “front Porch” of Layton City and northern Davis County.  Each summer, DAC’s “Summer Nights with the Stars” season of music, theatre, and dance brings an eclectic mix of local, national, and international performers right to the “front porch” of Layton City and northern Davis County.  Performances have included the incredible talent of The Beach Boys, Chicago, Styx, TOTO, Pat Benatar, Terry Fator, Idina Menzel, Olivia Newton-John, Foreigner, Huey Lewis & The News, Josh Turner, Indigo Girls, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, and so many more.

As accessibility is a key component to fulfilling our mission, DAC presents many free programs and services as well, including our “Free Sunday Night Concert Series” and “Free Friday Movie Series” at the Kenley Amphitheater; Active Pages; Active Stages: Arts in Education, seen by over 10,000 Davis County Students annually; Senior Stages; “Snow Horse Visual Arts Gallery,” a partnership with the Davis Conference Center and Intermountain Layton Hospital; and the “Davis Arts Chamber Music Series.”  We then conclude our programmatic year with a holiday celebration of music we like to call “DAC the Halls.”

The Davis Arts Council’s vision is to be an exemplary community arts organization recognized for presenting the highest-quality artistic programs that are accessible year-round to our entire community.
