A community cannot thrive without the arts.

For Peter (BCH ’70, MBA ’74) and Cathie Meldrum (BS ’69), this was and remains an enduring conviction — one that drives extraordinary commitment to arts and culture in Utah.

“My dad really believed that wherever you lived and worked — you should help make that community vibrant. The arts, whether the symphony, ballet, or museums, enrich the community and make people want to stay,” son Chris Meldrum explained.
