My favorite place on campus is The Dolores Dorê Eccles Fine Arts Center (DDEFAC). This center is a cultural hub for Southern Utah. In my paper, I want to describe the many things that go on in this building and the many opportunities available to students as well as the community that surrounds Dixie State University. When you first approach the DDEFAC you will notice the grandness of the building. It is one of the newest and largest buildings on campus. The building has a lot of vertical lines that grab your attention. It is softened by the desert scape and sculptures on the grounds. As you approach the main entrance, you hear and see water cascading over an edge and soft round lights that shine upward into the night. It is quiet outside and you feel as though you are entering a grand concert hall. Once inside the bustling of busy cast members is clear. You may witness a couple dancing in the main entrance with their backpacks and laptops sitting on the floor by the wall. They are trying to get the part just right. Dancing the same steps over and over. You can see a display of pottery work by a student.

As you read about Richard, you will find out that he is a man who has enjoyed pottery and the wheel for several years, he is improving what he already knew by attending the college of Fine Arts at Dixie. He explains that his fellow art students and professors have taught him so much. As you progress you can hear a rehearsal going on in the main theater for the play "Peter and the Star catcher" that opens on the 23rd of this month. As you make your way past the theater entrances, you can see large posters that hang from the ceiling like oriental rugs in china town. The posters tell about all the opportunities available through the arts at Dixie. Dancing, Singing, Orchestra and band as well as concerts and plays. You can take part whether you are a student or not. As you turn and go down the hallway you will find that you can hear a cello and as you approach the room you will see that there are private lessons going on. You won’t hear “Twinkle, Twinkle, little star”, but instead “Pachebel’s Canon in D” and other great masterpieces. In the distance, you may hear someone pounding on the piano. Your excitement will heighten as you peer through the window and find that she has no music. She is playing an amazing piece of art by memory. There are several more rooms with students practicing. There are flyers on the bulletin boards that offer lessons and help for a small price. You may also notice a flyer describing the 30th annual Sears Art Show and Gala, which benefits the college. It is the only fundraiser and funds the preservation of art on Campus. As you walk around the corner, you will hear a symphony playing. Once inside the entrance of the large hall, you will see the conductor wave in the violins. It is amazing to see the dynamic of individuals. At first glance, you may think it is a symphony of elderly people, but upon further investigation, you will find there are young girls in their teens playing violins and cellos. The conductor
