Select Artists by
the Park City Gallery Association
Main Gallery
October 9 - November 6
*Member Preview Friday, October 7 at 6 p.m.*
Dealer's Choice is a collaboration with Park City gallerists, who are a celebrated part of this exhibition. The Kimball Art Center asked local gallerists to look beyond their galleries (both their
own and those of the Park City Gallery Association) and think about the other artists who inspire them. Featuring one artist per gallery, these artists come together in a captivating group exhibition. Dealer's Choice is equally about the galleries and the artists they select, with each gallery highlighted through a statement about why they selected their artist and what inspires them to look deeper.

Book Reading and Signing
Tuesday, November 1 at 6:30 p.m.
The Gnome in Your Home is an illustrated, rhyming children's book by Susan Johnston about a group of gnomes who (due to their small size and lack of magical skills) question if they can make a difference. As the story progresses, the gnomes discover that they have a valuable gift...a gift for kindness. Based on this discovery (and the realization that small acts of kindness can change the world), the gnomes make a plan to visit homes in order to teach children and adults how easy and fun it is to develop a tradition of daily acts of kindness. The book is illustrated by former Young Artists' Academy student, Alexa Kanarowski. Join us for a fun evening for the entire family! Signed books will be available for purchase (includes 12" plush toy).
