Spiro Arts Artist-in-Residence Program

Mission

Spiro Arts is an Artist-in-Residence program, integrating local and international art communities, dedicated to supporting artistic and cultural exploration through the creative process.

Spiro Arts is a summer Artist-in-Residence (AIR), workshop program, and cultural center, located in the beautiful new Silver Star Resort community in Park City, Utah. Situated on a historic mine site adjacent to Park City Mountain Resort, the rustic architecture and newly-restored mine buildings provide a unique setting for Spiro's multidisciplinary programs while also serving as headquarters for Park City's Sundance Film Festival.

Spiro Arts at Silver Star was inspired by the belief that great art and thought deserves to be supported. The spirit and programming of Spiro Arts reflects our commitment to give artists an opportunity to spread their creative wings and explore...a chance to dig a little deeper.
