We are pleased to introduce our second installment in our monthly blog series that showcases all of our wonderful Park City galleries on a rotating basis! A prestigious and diverse art scene awaits visitors and local art aficionados alike throughout Park City’s historic district and beyond.  Every month we will be telling the story of a local gallery and the gallerists and artists behind them. For this month’s spotlight we spoke with David Beavis, who’s gallery is located on 314 Main St. View some of his award winning photography on his website here, and read on to learn more about David in our exclusive interview with him! 

We spoke with Bret Webster, whose gallery is located on 312 Main St. As you make your way down historic Main Street, it’s unlikely that his vibrant photographs won’t catch your eye and lure you inside to take a closer look at the dramatic shots of local Utah beauty and even some far off lands. He’s an internationally renowned photographer who’s images hang in U.S. Embassies and Museums around the world, representing the American West. On a warm afternoon in early May, we sat down with Bret in his gallery and discussed his past career as a chemical engineer and how it affects his work today, what inspires him, and more.

As part of Mental Health Awareness Month, Park City Film will be presenting a free screening of Beautiful Boy on Thursday May 9th at 7pm at the Library Center Theater. The film is about the heartbreaking and inspiring experience of survival and recovery in a family coping with addiction over many years. Based on memoirs “Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction” by father David Sheff and “Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines” by son Nic Sheff, the film examines the son’s addiction to meth and the father’s response to his son’s struggles.

Those attending Mountain Town Music's July 5th Wednesday concert at Deer Valley were treated to a real bonus. The opening act, ONE VOICE Children's Choir, originated from a group of children who sang at the 2002 Winter Olympics under the direction of Masa Fukuda and were so powerfully impacted by the experience they asked to continue to sing together.
