Dear Valued Members & Supporters,
|
|
Happy Spring from the Kimball Art Center! Our summer camps and classes will open on April 5 for registration. We offer a variety of engaging and creative week-long camps for ages 3 to 17 and a diverse offering of adult art classes. More information will be available on April 5 on our website.
Looking ahead to summer, the Kimball Art Center invites you to attend our annual Gala taking place on Thursday, July 13th. This year’s Gala is themed around “Art Starts Here” and celebrates all that the Kimball is. The evening will be hosted at the Kimball under a tent and inspired by the contemporary and compelling work of Richard Serra, featured in the Main Gallery. Join us in Park City style for a cocktail reception, seated dinner, live auction and entertainment celebrating the arts and supporting the Kimball’s many programs that bring art and enrichment to our community.
With funding for the arts being threatened at the federal level, including the National Endowment for the Arts, we ask you to continue and strengthen your support for arts organizations everywhere. Art matters and we see its impact every day in our community.
Happy Creating,
Kimball Art Center

Groundbreaking: Innovations In Clay
Main Gallery: February 18 - April 16
|
Groundbreaking closes this month - make sure you see it before April 16.
"Walk into the Kimball Art Center in Park City and the space feels open, warm and inviting. It’s quiet, but there’s a comfort to the quietness, much like one would find at a library or a cozy café. It’s a place perfect for contemplation, and through April 16 visitors are invited to consider the nature of ceramic art in Groundbreaking: Innovations In Clay, an exhibition that certainly lives up to its name."
