Jill Sjoblom - Arts Advocate

Jill Sjoblom is an Arts Advocate. She has enjoyed the arts all of her adult life and has worked to pass on that love to not only her own children, but to the children of Ogden as well. In 1999, Jill joined the volunteer docent program at the Eccles Community Art Center, where she worked to take original art packets out to local Elementary School with the Center’s “Art To Go” program. In the summer of 2008, Jill became the coordinator of the Center’s Docent Programs. She now trains new docents for the “Art To Go” program, and has revived tours of the Center’s historic home. Jill is presently working on concepts for new art packets and working on incorporating the wonderful reproduction of art works from “Pictures Across America,” a program of the National Humanities Council.
