About
Johnson Arts Center
A space for art of all kinds.
The Blaine H. and Loa M. Johnson Center for Community Arts and Education (Johnson Arts Center or JAC) provides a gathering place for artists of all kinds to create, learn, teach, mentor, collaborate, and build community.
The Johnson Arts Center is named after Dr. Blaine Hart Johnson (1915-2005), a beloved art educator that spent his life performing, organizing institutional and community choirs, and educating thousands, young and old, in the choral arts. Most notably, Dr. Johnson inspired individuals that they could not only be touched by art performed by others, but they had it within them to “find their voice” to produce art that would touch and inspire.
“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.”
— Thomas Merton
