The Art of Inspiration
The literary arts are vibrant in Summit County. Our schools bring in writers to speak about the creative process, our Libraries and Education Foundation host the annual One Book One Community event, and we are home to many local authors and illustrators who find creative inspiration in our natural environment, our history, our wildlife, and our small town relationships. As part of a monthly arts and culture segment on KPCW’s The Mountain Life curated by PCSC Arts, we invited artist and author Corrine Humphrey to share the story of her inspiration which resulted in her award winning line of children’s books about her dog Rudy.

Poetry Out Loud
Poetry is a magical art. It entices us to view things through metaphor and symbolism. To pay attention to detail and the meaning beneath the words. To hear color and see sound. The annual Poetry Out Loud Festival encourages students from across the country to learn about great poetry through memorization and performance. Each year since 2012, the Utah Arts & Museums Arts Education Program has partnered with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation to host school wide competitions across the state.

BRANDed PC
Park City is not only home to world class arts and culture experiences, we have a growing creative maker movement. From artisan chocolate and coffee to ski poles, t-shirts, shoes, books, jewelry, and toys, our town is bursting with locals who have moved a creative vision from idea to product. In December 2016, the Park City Summit County Arts Council launched a three day pop-up called BRANDed PC to showcase some of our creative producers and tell their stories. The space was designed as a gallery, editorial spotlight, and matchmaker between makers and the larger community.

Sundance 2017 Wrapped
Sundance 2017 was one for the record books. As it often does in the mountains in January, the snow dumped. And then it dumped more -- making our winter wonderland magical but quite a trick to get around. Luckily, our Park City snow removal team stepped up to the challenge to clear the three feet that fell. The independently organized Women's March on Main drew thousands of locals and visitors who walked, chanted, and stood in unity to speak collective truth to power. Power outages and a cyberattack on the Sundance website created additional challenges, but the inspired films, music, VR, panel discussions, networking, and storytelling went on in the true independent spirit of the Festival.
