Greek Arts & Traditions
 
 
 
 

Greek dancersAs Greek immigrants came to America, they brought traditional dance, music, and religious traditions that continue to be showcased and performed today. The Utah Arts Council documents such artistic endeavors by local cultural groups through its Folk Arts Program.

Following are selections from the Folk Arts Program archives, which offer a sampling of the community's vibrant arts: dance, music, Living Traditions Festival performances, and Greek Orthodox Easter ceremonies.
