Our Purpose

The Heart Creative Academy is in a historic home in the heart of Eden, Utah (you really should see this place). 

Emily’s Gift Shop fills up the east half of the building and offers gifts, art, books, and all kinds of cool stuff.

The Creative Academy offers classes and learning experiences galore. If galore isn’t your thing, you can discover, develop, participate on whatever level you’re comfortable with. 

The Heart grew from a simple belief: art has the power to connect people. Founded as a welcoming hub for makers, learners, and neighbors, our space brings together artists of all backgrounds to create, collaborate, and inspire. Here, community members can take classes, join open studios, or simply drop in to experiment with new techniques. Every event is designed to spark curiosity and foster meaningful connections!

Gary Hogg

Gary Hogg is the author of thirty books. You may want to read one, or two, or all of them. They’ll make you laugh and inspire you in unexpected ways. Of course, if you really want to get to know Gary, attend one of his presentations. He has done thousands of them for millions of people (he travels a lot). He will be sharing his storytelling, writing expertise, and love of life at The Heart Creative Academy on a regular basis (lucky for him it is only two miles from his house).
