“Eighth Grade” Screening
8 PM @ Jim Santy Auditorium
Presented by Park City Film Series

This one has gotten a lot of buzz – and the San Francisco Chronicle calls it “A beautiful and uncompromising piece of art…”

“Eighth Grade” is the feature film debut from comedian Bo Burnham, and is said to be a moving and darkly funny film. It follows thirteen-year-old Kayla, who endures the tidal wave of emotions that follow her through the last weeks of middle school–the end of her eighth-grade year before she begins high school.

The Park City Film Series says: “This is a unique and genuine coming of age film about the plight of young kids today in an internet-saturated world that forces them to grow up faster than they can handle.”

“Eighth Grade” premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. The show plays 8PM Friday and Saturday; 6 PM Sunday.

The Art and Science of Arachnids
Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter
Wednesdays – Sundays: 10 AM – 4 PM

The largest arachnid exhibit in the United States is right here in our backyard through December.

The exhibit guides visitors to explore connections between arachnids and literature, art, folklore, paleontology, science, and history. You’ll see 100 live arachnids (!) and experience hands-on activities – hopefully, the live arachnids are not the hands-on activities, but you’ll have to go see it in order to find out.

This exhibit is available to read and listen to in both Spanish and English, and is free for members; for pricing and other info, click here.

Body and Soul
Kimball Art Center
Through November 4

Never in history have we (ok, some of us) been more inundated with images – at least from a social media perspective. Landscapes, pictures of home design and architecture, candids (does such a thing even exist anymore?) but especially the new self-portrait – those supernumerary selfies – are shared and consumed relentlessly across social channels.

Kimball Art Center’s new exhibit, Body and Soul, features 24 Utah-based artists and explores the lasting power of what you could call the “legit-art selfie” genre across contemporary painting, photography, text-based installations, and more. From the Kimball Art Center website:

“Established tropes are both embraced and reinvented, presenting diverse approaches to portraiture as a means of commemoration, reflection, and social critique. From faithful likeness to fantasy and fracture, the power of portraits is that they are about more than what we look like; they reveal who we are.”

Admission is free; the exhibit will run through November 4.

New Homesites Released in The Colony at White Pine Canyon

September 28, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

The Colony Releases Eight Homesites in Meadow Lakes | Phase 5: E & F

It’s the next step in our final chapter: The Colony at White Pine Canyon has just released eight spectacular homesites in the Meadow Lakes – also known as Phase 5.

The E & F homesites are some of the most unique properties we have ever offered — no small statement here at The Colony, where it truly feels like you get to live in your very own national park.

If you don’t know us already, The Colony at White Pine Canyon is the largest ski-in, ski-out private development in the United States. We are a private, 4600-acre, gated community in the heart of Park City Mountain, one of North America’s largest ski resorts.

Each home here has the incredible amenity of ski-in, ski-out access, and in warmer weather, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and more are right outside your door.

Speaking of access, which is a key word, when you build your legacy here in The Colony, not only do you have immediate access to world-class skiing, you also have easy access to airports and direct access to Park City’s own unique style of living.

The homesites are easily accessible from our secure gated entry, and The Colony itself is:

35 miles from Salt Lake City International Airport
22 miles from Heber Valley Airport
5 miles from Historic Main Street in Park City, Utah

Here at The Colony – we treasure our open land, and we’re committed to sustainability. In fact, nearly 90-percent of the land will remain pristine and untouched open space – and we protect that commitment with conservation easements.

The homesites in Phase 5 E & F, our Meadow Lakes area, are among the largest available; they boast commanding views, old-growth forests, a remarkable water feature, and flat building pads.

Among what makes these Meadow Lakes homesites particularly epic: unique private ski access, a Nordic ski track, and private walking and snowshoeing trails. These eight homesites are truly unlike anything else in The Colony.

At its core, Art+Belief is about the balancing act between individual vision and religious conformity and the unlikely possibilities of reconciliation. These artists show us that we each have a unique spiritual journey that can flourish regardless of our religious allegiances.” There will be a Q & A with director Nathan Florence after the screening, which is free to the community.
