Mission Statement
Our Mission is to inspire and connect through art. We believe art should be accessible to all and that art plays a critical role in the overall success of the Park City community. That’s why we provide art education in Utah schools at no cost, offer free exhibitions in our galleries, and host a number of annual community events at no charge.
Description
The Kimball Art Center (KAC) provides international quality art exhibitions and dynamic educational opportunities for the citizens of Park City, Summit County, Wasatch County, and the region’s many visitors. We are committed to the fundamental American principles of expression and open engagement. KAC introduces visitors to the artistic process through its educational programs and gives insight into the many layers of creativity. Art is a catalyst for growth that allows an outlet for reflection, fosters new ways of thinking, and encourages compassion and connection. At the same time, we strive to develop the visual literacy of our audiences, breaking down the typical white space barriers.
Art is a universal language that provides an opportunity for cross-cultural dialogue. We see our role as a vital component of civic life for residents in our area and serve as a catalyst for creativity and community dialogues aiming to energize Park City’s vibrant arts community. Founded in 1976 by Bill Kimball, the Kimball Art Center is one of the region’s oldest creative non-profit organizations.
