PARK CITY, Utah — The Wild Winter Art Market will return to the Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter on Dec. 19, bringing together more than 20 local artists whose work draws inspiration from the natural world.

Now in its second year, the holiday market runs from 5–8 p.m. and is free to the public. The event highlights artists whose ceramics, jewelry, photography, prints, textiles, and other handcrafted pieces reflect the region’s landscapes and wildlife. Twenty-three artists were selected following an application period that closed in late October.

Organizers say the market has become a way for the community to connect during the holiday season while supporting Swaner’s mission of conservation, education, and stewardship. Each vendor will donate a portion of their proceeds to the EcoCenter.

“The Wild Winter Art Market is such a fun way to bring the community together and celebrate creativity that’s rooted in nature,” said Bri Cencak, visitor experience coordinator. “It’s been inspiring to see so many talented local artists come together in support of Swaner’s mission. The market encourages visitors to shop with intention — to choose gifts that reflect care for both people and the planet.”

The full list of participating vendors, along with directions and parking information, is available through the Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter.
