I am proud to announce that we have a new website! We're thrilled to showcase the continued, upward trajectory of the Kimball and this site is just so representative of all that we do. Some highlights include the search and sorting options within the class catalog, our new Art Starts Here™ video, upcoming gallery exhibitions, an enhanced membership focus and a live social media feed. Plus, the new site is just as exciting on your mobile device! I welcome you to visit the new site, share your photos with us via #artstartshere and take advantage of Fall at the Kimball! This month is not only an exciting month for us but also for all of Park City as Friday is the annual Live PC Give PC day of giving. Please consider donating to our free exhibitions and educational school tours on November 4 th for Live PC Give PC, an extraordinary day to support the organizations that make Park City special.

Nancy Vorm, an Indiana native, has a BFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Utah. Originally a weaver, Nancy served as a member of the Duneland Weaver's Guild in Northwest Indiana, before relocating to the Wasatch Front.

She is a member of the Surface Design Organization and the International Encaustic Arts. Vorm currently resides and works full time as a studio artist and is represented by Philips Gallery in Salt Lake City, Utah. For more about Nancy Vorm, visit her website.
