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

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.”

Park City Film: “Leaning into the Wind”
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.

A new year brought a new name for this annual event to signal that it’s much more than just a Nordic skiing event. This year, participants can choose from classic and skate skiing, snowshoeing, or fat tire biking options.

You can try these sports out, and there will also be instruction offered! All ages and ability levels are welcome and the event is free to the community. You are asked to register in advance to reserve Nordic ski equipment, provided by White Pine Touring for $5. Storm Cycles will provide a limited number of fat tire bikes for patrons to demo during the event.
