Creating opportunities and art for our community.

DEXO’s mission is to create professional opportunities for local unestablished artists and to create original works for and about our Utah community.

Our vision is to create an infrastructure to facilitate an ever changing group of artists.  The infrastructure will secure income streams, implement marketing strategies, reach out to various communities and bring awareness to DEXO’s artistic mission.

Land Acknowledgement

Deseret Experimental Opera and our affiliates acknowledge that our programs are held on the ancestral land of the Nuche (Ute), Nuwu (Paiute), Newe (Shoshone), Kutsipiuti (Goshute), Diné (Navajo), and Ancestral Puebloan peoples. We acknowledge the affects of our colonial history, as well as the environmental impacts of contemporary developments. We are grateful to be able to respectfully foster connection to Utah lands and first peoples through our programming, and to engage in these conversations through art with our communities.
