Each year, the Park City Kimball Arts Center hosts its biggest fundraiser — the Kimball Arts Festival. This festival is a great way to spend a weekend in lovely Park City, enjoying activities, sights, and sounds that are sure to please your senses. This year’s event will be held August 1 through 3 at locations along Park City’s historic Main Street.

The Kimball Arts Festival is a juried event that attracts artists from around the country. The 2014 festival experienced the highest number of applications ever with more than 900 artist applications — with more than 200 being selected.

Participating artists will be presenting artwork in many mediums. You’ll find ceramics, photography, glass, fiber, and jewelry. You won’t want to miss the mixed media, paintings, sculptures and so much more.

In addition, festivalgoers can enjoy more than 30 live music performances happening on three different stages. You’ll be able to enjoy music from performers such as Kate McLeod, Daniel Day Trio, Melanie Devany Duo, Better Off With The Blues, and many more.

Festival Kid’s Areas

Kids will love the kids’ area activities that offer hands-on art projects for all ages. Kids can help create a glass mosaic that will be part of the Kimball Art Center’s permanent collection. They can take a class or two in printmaking or ceramics.

Enjoy the Tastes of Park City

During the festival, many restaurants will be offering dining decks where you can enjoy a meal while watching festival activities. Restaurants offering deck dining include Bangkok Thai on Main, Bandits, Eating Establishment, and 501 on Main among others.
