As one of the oldest Arts & Culture organizations in Summit County, we serve as the designated Local Arts Agency for Park City, North Summit, and South Summit/Kamas Valley.
Our mission is to serve our Arts & Culture community by driving creative programming, providing valuable resources, and cultivating connections. We envision a community where Arts & Culture is critical, where creatives thrive, and where all people connect through the arts.
what we do
Events & Programs
Art connects us. We produce annual events and programs that promote community building and bring people together though shared creative experiences such as the Latino Arts Festival, Art on the Trails, and the Summit Art Showcase. Check them out here.
Public Art
We develop several public art projects each year to support creative placemaking countywide with the goal of enriching our community, cultivating cultural identity, and providing accessible art to inspire new ideas and instill community pride.
Advocacy & Planning
We are the only local nonprofit organization in with a sole mandate to advance art and culture countywide. We advocate for increased investment in arts & culture and execute cultural planning efforts to lay roadmaps for the future.
Cultural tourism
Promoting our robust local art sector is at the heart of that we do. We tell stories about local artists, cultural nonprofits, creative businesses, and events to drive visitors and residents to engage in a wide range of cultural activities offered throughout the County.

Building a Roadmap for the Future of Arts & Culture
in Park City & Summit County, UT
The Arts Council has engaged consulting team Designing Local to facilitate our Arts & Culture Master Planning process for Park City & Summit County. This plan will build upon, deepen, and ultimately replace our existing Countywide Cultural Plan (Project ABC: Art, Beauty, Culture). The purpose of the Arts & Culture Master Plan is to guide the future development and growth of our local Arts & Culture sector, ensuring that it aligns with our community’s vision and meets the needs and expectations of our sector. We are excited to work closely with cultural nonprofits, local artists, local governments, community organizations, and residents countywide to execute this work.

Upcoming arts & culture Events
Inward Outside: Lyndsie Nash Art Show
Sept. 6 - Dec. 29
Lyndsie Nash is an emerging artist who paints connections with nature. She pushes beyond pure subject representation to highlight experiences and relationships observed directly under natural light. She reveals her subject’s depth of character through creative decisions in color, composition, and textural qualities, creating an interplay between realism and abstraction. Learn more here.
Kimball art center: less bad
Aug. 30 - Dec. 1
Less Bad is a testament to LA-based Karl Haendel’s aesthetic innovation, conceptual depth, and ability to engage viewers in nuanced dialogues about art and meaning. This site-specific installation features more than 60 works, primarily in graphite on paper. The exhibition explores a wide range of themes, from intimate experiences like fatherhood, love, friendship, and loss to broader issues such as tenderness, masculinity, introspection, and vulnerability.
