The Office of Cultural Affairs strives to establish and maintain the role of Weber State University as the center of cultural life and performing arts education on the Northern Wasatch Front.
Each season we feature public performances and educational residencies of artistic excellence in a diverse range of disciplines.
Our Program Director is Diane Stern.

Why do we come together for performance?Of course, there are amazing artists on the series and the chance to sit in the same room with them is rare and wonderful. But I believe that we also have a profound need to gather. We desire to sit with a self-selected community and share an experience. People gather for many reasons: politics, religion, performance, festivals, sports… and they recognize the value of what brings them together. But the simple act of gathering is also important and feeds the experience. Running a marathon with 5000 other people is very different than running 26.2 miles alone. Both have value and the values are unique. This season we have the opportunity to gather and enjoy fine artists as they visit Ogden on the Cultural Affairs.
Please Join us for a preview of our 2009 - 2010 Season.

Thank you for bringing Chanticleer to Ogden! I didn't expect…
What a wonderful evening! It was a complete and full…
There is no way they are better than the King's…
We're really looking forward to Chanticleer this weekend. Going to…
Saw them in California a couple of years ago--absolutely fabulous!…
Chanticleer delivered a captivating performance at Weber's Austad Auditorium on Saturday night to an excited and appreciative crowd. Chanticleer performed a diverse reprertoir of compositions that left their fans amazed, laughing, and wanting more. The evening's program title "in time of..." is taken from an e. e. cummings poem of the same name. It was arranged for choral ensemble by Steven Sametz and closed the first half the performance.
Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill brought a rare performance to an intimate crowd in the unique setting of Peery's Historic Egyptian Theater.
