The award-winning Park City Kimball Arts Festival is prepared to celebrate its 50th anniversary with new activities, experiences, artists, and partners.
There are a number of exciting happenings planned for this year, including a public exhibition showcasing 50 years of the Arts Festival inside the Rockwell Room at 268 Main Street, a Sunday brunch where guests can mingle with select Festival artists, and, for the first time ever, VIP passes are available for purchase. The VIP Lounge will be hosted at the Kimball Terrace located 675 Main Street. Pass holders enjoy complimentary food and drinks, Festival access, and a skybox view of all the action.
While this year’s Festival has a lot of new and exciting changes, one thing will remain the same: juror-selected, innovative artwork. This year, over 1,000 artist applications were received, setting a new record. Of those, 220 artists were selected by a blind jury and invited to participate. A total of 13 mediums will be represented at the Festival.
Canice Harte, Kimball Art Center event manager, says other Festival staples — live music, gourmet cuisine, and more — are also planned. “The ever-popular kids’ area, where the littles can channel their inner Picasso and the adult version of this — Studio on Main — where participants can create unique pieces of art to take home, will be back,” he noted. “And, I’m happy to say Vida Tequila will again be mixing Mexican Mules for those over 21, with proceeds going to Kimball Art Center.”
To save money and time attendees are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance online. Tickets are just $12 for adults and $5 for kids when purchased before the Festival. Adult tickets increase to $15 at the gate.
“This event is Kimball Art Center’s largest fundraiser of the year and proceeds from ticket sales allow us to offer art education, free exhibitions, and inspiring community events throughout the year,” Canice added.
All ticketing information, as well as a complete list of Festival activities, artists, and more is available at: ParkCityKimballArtsFestival.org.
