Summer is in full swing and good things definitely come in threes!
We have three incredible FUNdraisers on the horizon. Themed around the usual suspects, art, cuisine & music, these diverse events are designed to suit every appetite and art interest. See the details below for all of the happenings as we hope you can make it to one or all three.
Register for an art class, enjoy lunch at Uptown Fare (we recommend the turkey), or visit our fantastic new exhibit. We are open daily all summer. Art starts here!

Don Weller: Another Cowboy
Now through July 24th in our Main Gallery
Don Weller's heroes have always been cowboys. After studying fine arts, however, he reluctantly left them behind, and began a long career as a graphic designer and illustrator. His dynamic and often whimsical work appeared on record covers, posters, in advertisements, and on hundreds of magazine pages.
Weller rediscovered his love for rural lands and the world of cowboys when he moved to Utah in the 1980s, creating the ongoing inspiration for his current paintings. Working exclusively in watercolor, he expertly captures the grit of cowboys and the striking landscapes of the west.
This retrospective at the Kimball is a unique opportunity to view works from all stages of Weller's celebrated career-from sketchbooks and early illustrations to the iconic western scenes for which he is now well-known.

EVA (Elementary Visual Art) Program (in partnership with PCEF):
Abby McNulty, Executive Director, PCEF:
One of my favorite grants, in collaboration with the Kimball Art Center, provides monthly art classes in three of our four elementary schools. A student thank you note sums it up perfectly. "I love art because we have art in the classroom once a month, and I can let my inner crazy out!"
Thank you PCEF and all of the fabulous students that we serve!
ARTS (Academic Resources for Teachers and Students) School Program:
ARTS Tours are getting ready for the 2016-2017 school year while we continue working with our summer camps in Summit County. We look forward to visiting schools in the fall with new exhibits and lessons!
Summer Art Camps are in full swing and we're thoroughly enjoying teaching so many talented individuals! See what creative experiences we have in store for kids (ages 6-10) and tweens/teens (ages 11-16). Classes continue to fill fast so please register in advance to reserve your space.
The Kimball is proud to have the following nationally know artists join us this July to teach:
Scott Skinner and Jose Sainz:- Kite Workshops (July 15-16)
Nancy Paris Pruden: Plein Air Workshops (July 22-24)
Space is limited in these classes so why wait?
Kimball Clay Studio:
As a community studio, we offer the opportunity to play, learn and create in a friendly atmosphere. Kimball Clay Studio is staffed by experienced, professional teachers, each with their own style, who offer hands-on assistance and inspiration while you create your ceramic pieces.
Friday Open Studios are currently discontinued for the summer season. Open Studios will re-open on Friday afternoons in the Fall!
