Park City Nonprofit Highlight: Kimball Art Center

March 4, 2019 by Shelby Hintze, Colony PR

The motto of the Kimball Art Center is “Art Starts Here.” For so many of the children, families and other residents of Summit County and here in Park City, that’s completely accurate. KAC offers an immense amount of educational opportunities to people in the community, for free or close to it.

The place where art starts started in a garage in 1976. Bill Kimball opened the art center as a way to connect the community through art. The community began to grow – and so did the center. The center now has an amazing FREE art museum featuring exhibitions from artists from around the world, and offers more than 300 different visual art classes to kids and adults. And the K-12 program, a partnership with the Park City Education Foundation, makes sure art is taught in the schools. Between all those different programs, the KAC now serves 85,000+ people a year!

Here’s a quick rundown at the programs the KAC offers—buckle up!

The KAC offers oh-so-many art classes to kids and adults. Classes in mediums like welding, painting, drawing, photography, pottery, stained glass and more fill the studios each day. The classes do have a cost but scholarships are available. You can also sign up for private or small group classes. The KAC also offers a clay studio for a small membership fee. The studio is staffed with artists who help your pieces come to life.

The partnership with Park City Education Foundation works to provide art education which wouldn’t happen otherwise. This program is called Elementary Visual Arts, with funding from PCEF and curriculum from KAC. The EVA staff teaches monthly art classes designed to teach kids art basics – and to encourage kids to stretch their creativity.

Here’s what the effort boils down to: in the world we live in now, everything is a problem to be solved. When we have a strong command of our creative thinking skills, we can find better solutions to problems—which is why art is so important. It helps that it’s just plain fun, too. One of the EVA specialists said she loves to watch students who may struggle academically come into her art classes and be able to express themselves visually. She says you can see their confidence grow as they explore another way to learn. Each month, the lessons and supplemental materials are posted online so the learning can continue at home.

While the EVA classes are taught in Park City School District elementary schools, the KAC is also looking out for teens who have shown an interest and a talent in the visual arts. The Young Artists’ Academy is a school-year-long program lasting the length of the school year designed to help budding artists learn more about the visual arts as well as art professions. Weekly classes and service opportunities help teens to expand their portfolio, meet artists and participate in critiques of art, their own and others.

“Off the chART Art” is an after-school art program designed for students ages 6-11. The 8-week long program meets after school at the elementary schools so parents don’t have to drive kiddos back and forth. Young students will learn about drawing, painting, sculpture, mixed media and more.

The Kimball Art Center museum is free every day and features rotating exhibitions from local artists as well as artists from around the world. School and youth groups can come to tour the gallery and learn from a trained staff member, teaching from curriculum developed to integrate art into lessons that are based on core subjects such as Math, Science, Reading, Writing, History, Geography and Language Arts.

The KAC operates off of grants and donations. Its biggest fundraiser every year is also a huge boon to the local economy as well—the Park City Kimball Arts Festival. This year will be the festival’s 50th year. Each year, the festival welcomes more than 50,000 guests, 220+ jury-selected artists from over 30 states in 12 categories, 30 live musical acts and lots and lots of food.

Last year, the KAC says the festival brought more than $20 million into the state. The festival is held on Historic Main Street and the small price of admission keeps all of these programs above running through the year. This year, the festival will be held from August 2nd – 4th.

On its website, it says “KAC provides a platform and a place for artists and arts enthusiasts to come together to explore, celebrate, develop and cherish the creative spark that lives within us all. We believe that art brings meaning, joy, direction, community enhancement, and inspiration…We know that art changes lives and brings people together, sustaining our vibrant community and catalyzing positive change in the world around us.”

Of course, the KAC is always looking for donations, volunteers, even some paid positions. If you’d like to explore ways to help the KAC meet its mission check out its website or go see for yourself. It’s located at 1401 Kearns Boulevard, Park City.

From the boundless charm of penguins to the grandeur of vast ice shelves, she captures moments of intense drama and epic beauty.”

Paul Crow: On Ice
Café Gallery @ Kimball Art Center
Through April 7
From the Kimball Art Center website:
“The month I was born, the first Nimbus satellite was launched, taking images of polar ice as it began its work. From that September in 1964 to September 2012, the ice coverage in the Arctic has fallen by half. And the ice is thinner.

Ice sheets are expanses of glacier ice covering surfaces of land and free water greater than 50,000 square kilometers. The only ice sheets now on earth are in Greenland and Antarctica. Antarctica loses a hundred cubic kilometers of ice each year. New icebergs are born of melting glaciers, breaking free into the open ocean. Sea levels rise.

Ice is a time capsule, storing bits of creatures, traces of gasses and waters from prior earths. Some of it dead, some of it not quite. In the year that I was born, scientists began tracking the long-term ice record of the Arctic lake Kilpisjärvi at the northwestern tip of Finland, not far from the point where the borders of Sweden, Norway, and Finland meet. Typically frozen for eight months of the year, Lake Kilpisjärvi has frozen an average of 2.3 days later each decade since 1964, and in each of those decades, the lake has seen a decrease of an average of 3.4 days of total ice cover.” –Paul Crow

In spring, the snow melts to reveal an amazing network of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, connecting to more than 400 miles of single-track trails throughout the surrounding area.

Sue Flood: Cold Places Photography
Main Gallery @ Kimball Art Center
Through April 7
From the Kimball Art Center website:
“ In striking and poignant images, Sue Flood takes us to Earth’s coldest places. Flood has made numerous journeys to Antarctica and the Arctic, yet her sense of awe in these remote lands never fades. From the boundless charm of penguins to the grandeur of vast ice shelves, she captures moments of intense drama and epic beauty.

Her work also carries an important message: The relationship between this wilderness and its inhabitants is precarious. Many will never travel to the polar regions, but through her work, Flood inspires us with a desire to respect and protect these lands and, above all, to engage with the natural world that surrounds us.
Cold Places includes more than 45 photographs as well as an interactive activity designed to bring Flood’s global message to a local scale.”
~

Paul Crow: On Ice
Café Gallery @ Kimball Art Center
Through April 7
From the Kimball Art Center website:
“The month I was born, the first Nimbus satellite was launched, taking images of polar ice as it began its work. From that September in 1964 to September 2012, the ice coverage in the arctic has fallen by half. And the ice is thinner.

Lines with Power and Purpose
Tozer Gallery @ Park City Museum
Through March 9
From the Park City Museum website:
“On a daily basis, editorial cartoonists deliver biting social commentary made palatable through amusing and well-crafted illustration. Lines with Power and Purpose: Editorial Cartoons features over forty original editorial cartoons from the nation’s great metropolitan newspapers during the Golden Age of print journalism. Included in the mix are six Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonists, each demonstrating the theme of political commentary through editorial illustrations and addressing issues from the first half of the twentieth century.

These deceptively simple drawings frame the public’s understanding of early-to-mid twentieth-century world events and trends ranging from the two world wars, the great depression, public discontent with the US government, presidential elections, daily battles regarding work-related rejection, nostalgia for homespun neighborhood charm in the Midwest, and more. Along the way, these cartoons served a dualistic intention: to provide welcomed comic relief as well as shape opinion.”

BMW Biathlon World Cup
Feb. 14 – 17 @ Soldier Hollow

If you’re wondering exactly what biathlon is – look no further. Soldier Hollow describes is as a combination of “cross-country skiing with marksmanship and has its roots in winter survival skills practiced in the forests of Scandinavia where people hunted on skis. A biathlon competition consists of a race in which contestants ski through a cross-country trail system whose total distance is divided into either two or four shooting rounds, half in prone position, the other half standing. For each shooting round, the biathlete must hit five targets and receives a penalty lap or time for each missed target. Biathlon made its Olympic debut in its current form in 1960. With a total cumulative TV viewership approaching one billion, biathlon is the most popular winter sport in Europe.”

Also from the Soldier Hollow website:
“The last and only Biathlon World Cup Solider Hollow hosted was in 2001 prior to the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. Approximately 28 nations and 180 athletes will be coming to Midway, Utah for the 2019 Biathlon World Cup.”

7 PM @ Jim Santy Auditorium | Park City Library
From the Park City Film website:
“Sixteen years after the release of the groundbreaking film Rivers and Tides – Andy Goldsworthy Working with Time director Thomas Riedelsheimer has returned to work with the artist. Leaning into the Wind – Andy Goldsworthy follows Andy on his exploration of the layers of his world and the impact of the years on himself and his art. As Goldsworthy introduces his own body into the work it becomes at the same time even more fragile and personal and also sterner and tougher, incorporating massive machinery and crews on his bigger projects. Riedelsheimer’s exquisite film illuminates Goldsworthy’s mind as it reveals his art.”

Lines with Power and Purpose
Tozer Gallery @ Park City Museum
Through March 9
From the Park City Museum website:
“On a daily basis, editorial cartoonists deliver biting social commentary made palatable through amusing and well-crafted illustration. Lines with Power and Purpose: Editorial Cartoons features over forty original editorial cartoons from the nation’s great metropolitan newspapers during the Golden Age of print journalism. Included in the mix are six Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonists, each demonstrating the theme of political commentary through editorial illustrations and addressing issues from the first half of the twentieth century.

The cartoonist draws strength from the limited conventions of the newspaper context. Just as the strict rules of a haiku challenge the poet to create exactly the right mood within the tight construction of very few words, the editorial cartoonist presents a powerful distillation of political argument through a single image and maybe a few well-placed labels or a short caption.

To accomplish this underappreciated feat, cartoonists develop their own language—a language taught to and subsequently shared with their readers. Standard symbols such as the oft-used Uncle Sam or Statue of Liberty evoke abstract concepts such as nation, patriotism, and public interest. On a darker side, cartoons reveal the inherent cruelty of prejudice, xenophobia, and ignorance.

The Melton Gallery at the University of Central Oklahoma, the curator of the exhibition, has housed this set of political cartoons for more than three decades. This exhibition was organized by ExhibitsUSA, a program of Mid-America Arts Alliance.”

Heber City Food Trucks by Firelight

~

Park City Film: “Shoplifters”
8 PM @ Jim Santy Auditorium
From the Park City Film website:
“On the margins of Tokyo, a dysfunctional band of outsiders is united by fierce loyalty, a penchant for petty theft and playful grifting. When the young son is arrested, secrets are exposed that upend their tenuous, below-the-radar existence and test their quietly radical belief that it is love—not blood—that defines a family. Buy tickets HERE. Friday and Saturday at 8 PM, Sunday at 6 PM.
