Park City Arts Council Unveils Packed Spring Lineup of Workshops, Exhibitions, Festivals

The Arts Council of Park City & Summit County announced a packed spring lineup that pairs professional development and public-facing events to expand audience reach and economic opportunity for local creatives. The season includes a new visual arts component at the Park City Spring Wine Festival, a launch of the ArtWORKS professional series, and a return of monthly Gallery Walks anchored in March and April.

The Park City Spring Wine Festival is set for April 9–11 at Pendry Plaza and will include more than 50 wineries and beverage makers alongside an arts activation. Artists from CREATE PC will set up a pop-up gallery and shopping experience on the plaza featuring original paintings, multimedia works, and jewelry, giving participating artists what organizers describe as unusual exposure during a high-traffic weekend that draws both locals and destination visitors.

Supporting working artists, the Arts Council launches ArtWORKS on March 20 at CREATE PC. The inaugural session, "Public Art 101," runs from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. and is free to attend. The series is framed as a professional development offering aimed squarely at the practical challenges local artists face and pairs behind-the-scenes support with public engagement opportunities across the season.

Community-facing programming returns in multiple formats. The Monthly Gallery Walk comes back with three events anchored in March and April, and CREATE PC continues to host market and seasonal activations from the winter calendar: the Holiday Makers Market runs Nov. 21 through the holidays with hours Wednesday through Sunday noon to 6 p.m.; the Gondola & Snow Globe Art Stroll ran Nov. 21 through Jan. 5, 2026 and included seven commissioned snow globes along Historic Main Street; and the Silver & Snow Holiday Window Display Contest ran Nov. 29 through Dec. 25 with winners announced Dec. 26.

Those events sit inside a broader Arts & Culture planning effort. The council’s plan timeline shows phases from Project Mobilization in spring and summer 2024 through community dialogue in summer and fall 2024 and strategy synthesis in fall and winter 2025, with final plan adoption noted for winter and spring 2025. The plan notes that findings show the creative sector contributed to over 176 million dollars in economic activity in Summit County in 2023, supporting over 2,000 jobs, and lists strategic objectives to build capacity, sustainably integrate arts with the Summit County Sustainable Tourism plan, and spur momentum and growth.

Public art oversight and budgeting remain active local issues: a Public Art Advisory Board fragment lists estimated project costs of $40,000 to $60,000 that can be funded from the existing Public Art Budget and schedules meetings at the Marsac Executive Conference Room, 445 Marsac Avenue. The Arts Council is promoting the season via its Spring Art Adventure Guide, social handle Find us @pcsarts, and a live radio appearance on KPCW radio on Wednesday, March 4. The spring slate aims to embed the arts into everyday community life while routing more foot traffic and sales to Summit County creatives.
