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.

Lewis Baltz & Rodrigo Valenzuela: Under construction
Mar. 8 - May 26
We are proud to present the captivating historical images of Lewis Baltz’s Park City series alongside the work of contemporary artist Rodrigo Valenzuela, who explores issues of labor, alienation, and displacement.
Throughout the 1970s, Lewis Baltz captured the changing landscape he observed throughout different parts of the American West.
Complementing these captivating historical images will be photographs and installations by contemporary artist Rodrigo Valenzuela (b. 1982, Chile) who, taking inspiration from Baltz‘s work, similarly captures our built landscape while also exploring issues of labor, alienation, and displacement.
