Kaysville has a rich tradition of supporting the arts. This tradition reaches back to pioneer times when arts and culture were considered key components of a community. Quickly after establishing survival foundations, citizens formed clubs in support of cultural education. The founders not only worked hard but they enjoyed entertainment provided by art, music and drama.

By preserving cultural traditions and sharing through a variety of mediums, a movement is mobilized to create unification within the communities. The organization believes that it is in a artistic environment that future citizens are inspired to improve their own lives and create an atmosphere in which community members will thrive.

Ongoing art shows, special events and hands-on activities associated with historic exhibits, all provide opportunities for the youth of Kaysville and Fruit Heights to participate in creative and thoughtful ways as they interact with art and history, especially the intermingling of the two. A vision toward all ages includes educational outreach for youth. 

While many artists have lived in Kaysville over the years, LeConte Stewart (1891-1990) has been the most prominent. Both locally and state-wide, artists received lessons from him or were trained by teachers who had themselves been taught by Stewart. The LeConte Stewart Art Gallery was open in town to the public in for many years and was seen as an attraction to tourists and visitors. Throughout his life the critical recognition of Stewart’s art continued to grow, but it was after his death that acclaim culminated in two large one-man exhibitions held concurrently in Salt Lake City. His legacy continues in the present and predictably future artists will also be inspired. Part of the mission of the KFH Museum is to honor his efforts by promoting cultural events which evidence that the spirit of a community, its past and present, can be viewed through the lens of art.
