BRANDed PC // A Pop-up Shop of Local Creative Brands
BRANDed PC, a pop-up created by Park City Summit County Arts Council to spotlight local creative brands and their stories, will take over the Kimball Art Center’s Main Gallery for 8 days with a launch party Dec 2. The project is designed as a gallery meets editorial spotlight meets matchmaker between the community and local creatives.
Arts Council Executive Director, Hadley Dynak explains, “It is a celebration of the power of community, the power of buying local, and the power of our local visionaries, makers and risk takers. Being a maker takes guts, and we want to celebrate and showcase the creative, entrepreneurial spirit of these individuals and their products.”
A Launch Party, open to the public, will be held on Saturday, December 2 from 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. During the party, guests will have the opportunity to meet the makers, explore the showroom getting first dibs on local product, and enjoy local food and beverages. A fashion show, produced by local design and style house, Farasha will offer a fun and creative way for the community to interact with the products. The night will celebrate Summit County’s ever-growing creative economy.
BRANDed PC will feature over 40 brands who either started or are currently based in Summit County, UT. An eclectic mix of products will be represented including household goods, nonperishable food items, accessories, toys, clothing, outdoor gear, books, cards, and more. Sharon Backurz, owner of local apparel company Zenzee and returning BRANDed PC maker notes “We had a blast at BRANDed PC last year! We love the storytelling aspect of this event and how our products were displayed. It couldn't have been easier to participate. We are very excited to be part of this special pop-up experience again this year.”
