PARK CITY, Utah — Get ready to stroll through complimentary exhibits around Park City this weekend. Start with the first of the MINERS 9 exhibits for 2024 and continue on for an evening of gallery hopping on Main Street and more. You may even find some treats along the way.

MINERS 9 exhibit by local independent artists March 29 – 31 at Miners Hospital Community Center

A variety of local artists will rotate through this intimate show each month. They plan to provide fresh new art and the opportunity for as many local independent artists as possible to demonstrate and explain their art, tell their own story, and handle transactions directly with their patrons. This weekend meet Ron Butkovich, Amy Englebrecht, Mike Hays, Steve Johnson, Anna Leigh Moore, Frances Remillar, Paul Russel, Elissa Sabbo and Sundyn Woolf.

Come see them Friday 2 – 7 p.m., Saturday 12 – 7 p.m. or Sunday 12 – 4 p.m. Those visiting on Friday can join the Park City Gallery Stroll afterwards.

Don’t miss Taylor Smith’s Digital Dreams exhibit through April 15 at Pando Fine Art at 444 Main Street

Drawing from pop art’s historical use of reappropriated images, Taylor Smith’s new paintings turn salvaged, unrecyclable floppy diskettes from landfills into paintings that explore the visual lexicon of popular culture, time, and nostalgia. These paintings recontextualize our understanding of obsolete technology and the anonymous information they contain, bringing the past into the present moment to ask important questions about our digital identities and the materiality of contemporary painting. Smith has exhibited in North America and Europe, and she has works in many high-profile collections, including the Eli Lilly permanent collection, the Madeleine Albright collection, and the Cleve Carney Museum of Art. Pando Fine Art is open Monday – Thursday 10 a.m. – 8 p.m., Friday – Saturday 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Kimball Art Center’s current exhibit “Under Construction” through May 26, 2024 Tuesday through Sundays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Kimball Art Center presents the captivating historical images of Lewis Baltz (1945-2014) from his celebrated Park City (1980) series, comprised of 102 photographs taken from 1978 to 1979 in a then-developing section of the city. This series has long been considered one of the central portfolios in Baltz’s groundbreaking career and highlights in documentary fashion the rapid building that was taking place during Park City’s reinvention as a ski resort town.

Contemporary artist Rodrigo Valenzuela (b. 1982, Chile) is an Assistant Professor and Head of the Photography Department at UCLA. He takes inspiration from Baltz‘s work, similarly captures our built landscape while also exploring issues of labor, alienation, and displacement.
