Art in Park City Utah and Sundance

8/17/2017

0 Comments

 
I had the pleasure of visiting Utah this summer for just a few days.  On this trip, I didn't seek out art museums or plan to look for art.  But as usual, art finds me!  During my visit in Park City, I came across some wonderful art that I thought I would share with you in my blog.

Most of what I'll write about will be focused on the Main Street area of Park City.  This is the central area that is lined with terrific restaurants, cute shops, and dozens of wonderful art galleries.  I also came across some great public art and street art, which I always love seeing.

Walking along Main Street, I stumbled upon some street art by Bansky.  This Bansky street art appeared during the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.  I've included a close up photo showing the cracked glass, which gave it a very cool look.  
The Main Street area is pretty cool and full of history.  If you look closely, you'll see that some of the older buildings have plaques on them that describe the history of the area as well as interesting facts about the architecture.  For example, The Frankel Building was constructed in the mid-1800s and burned down in the Great Fire of 1898. It wasn't until 1966, that the building was renovated to establish the Silver Palace Saloon and later housed a variety of other shops.  The Frankel Building is a typical example of mining town vernacular architecture and features large display windows and a recessed entryway.  The brick walls demonstrate the preoccupation with using more fire resistant materials. (Sorry, no photo of the building, so you'll just have to visit yourself!)

This sculpture is dedicated to the accomplishments of those who mined the silver and lead ores found in the surrounding mountains. The sculpture is the work of Peter Fillerup of Midway, Utah.

This photo shows a historic mechanical engineering landmark located along Main Street in Miner's Plaza--An Elmco Rocker Shovel Loader, which replaced human labor removing rubble from blasting in underground mines.

This sculpture of Emmett "Bud" Wright acknowledges his contribution to the city repairing phone lines on his 10-foot long handmade skis. This sculpture is the work of Peter Fillerup.

Main Street Art Galleries:
All along Main Street are some fabulous art galleries.  There is a Park City Gallery Association which hosts a Last Friday Gallery Stroll.  On the last Friday of each month, from 6-9 pm, the Park City Gallery Association features artists, special exhibits, and art events.  The Stroll is a free community event that gives local residents and Park City visitors the opportunity to explore Park City's art scene.  The remaining dates for 2017 are August 25th, September 29th, October 27th, November 24th, and December 29th.  Check out their website: www.parkcitygalleryassociation.com for more information.
There were a few galleries that I particularly liked, so if you're in Park City, be sure to check these out:
 
J-GO Gallery
401 Main St.

Thomas Anthony Gallery
340 Main St.

Meyer Gallery

Gallery MAR

Trove Gallery
804 Main St.

I really liked the Trove Gallery, which is located at the lower end of Main St.  In the planters located in front of the building that houses the Trove Gallery were these incredible kinetic sculptures from the artist, Lyman Whitaker.  More information on Lyman Whitaker can be found on the Trove Park City website: ​http://troveparkcity.com/artists/lyman-whitaker/

I've posted a short video of these sculptures, which have a wonderful look to them visually as they dance with the wind.  The Trove Gallery also had some incredible work from other spectacular artists they represent.  When in Park City, definitely check out Trove Gallery.
For more than 40 years, the Kimball Art Center has inspired and connected the Park City community through art.  The Kimball Art Center is a world-class community art center and Park city's cultural hub.  The nonprofit center provides art education, free exhibitions, quarterly Art Talks, gallery tours, and a variety of events to the public, including the annual Park city Kimball Arts Festival that attracts more than 50,000 people to Par City's historic Main Street.  They provide over 300 visual arts classes for all ages and free educational programs for K-12 schools in Utah.  The Kimball Art Center is located at 1401 Kearns Boulevard.  More information can be found on their website: www.kimballartcenter.org
Sundance:
A short ride from Park City took me to the Sundance Mountain Resort in Sundance, Utah.  The resort is owned by Robert Redford; Redford hosted the first Sundance Film Festival in 1985 to promote independent films.  Perhaps the two films I'm producing, "Dan and Carla" and "Avery's Sin" will end up at Sundance in the near future!!!

While at Sundance Resort, I took a scenic chairlift up Sundance Mountain to Ray's Summit at 7,150 ft. and hiked down to Stewart Falls, returning back to the main area.  The hike was pretty intense (at least for me), but I was rewarded at the end with a cold drink and a view of a really cool sculpture set on a beautiful pond.  Close to the main area, I came across this wonderful sculpture: Allan Houser's bronze sculpture, "Prayer Song" located in front of the Rehearsal Hall and pond at Sundance.

The Sundance Art Gallery is located in the Art Studio and features a number of exhibiting guest artists. The Art Studio has daily workshops in jewelry making, wheel-thrown pottery, journal making, soap making, watercolor, acrylic painting, oil painting, printmaking, and drawing and are open to both resort guests and day visitors.

More information about Sundance Mountain Resort can be found at:

​I have no doubt that there is so much more to the art in Park City and the surrounding areas in Utah, beyond what I've written here, but it's my hope that you'll read my blog and perhaps explore on your own art adventures!  Wishing you Creative and Happy Travels!
