The Arts Council of Park and Summit County is managing a wide array of regional creative programs, including the CREATE PC Local Artist Collective which provides gallery space for local creators and the administration of public art advisory boards for both Park City and Summit County.
Support for Local Artists
The CREATE PC Local Artist Collective serves as a dedicated program designed to provide local artists with studio and gallery exhibition space, along with direct sales opportunities. According to the Arts Council of Park City & Summit County, the collective was established to foster a thriving community among local creators by providing an accessible and inclusive platform for growth.
Gallery and Studio Resources
Artists participating in the CREATE PC program gain access to several specific resources. The collective offers rentable studio spaces in a communal setting, which includes a guaranteed display area within the CREATE PC Park City gallery. This allows studio artists to both create and showcase their work simultaneously.
Artist Growth Opportunities
The program is designed for a wide spectrum of skill levels, offering support to both established professionals and those just beginning their careers. The Arts Council stated that the collective provides momentum for artists who may be unsure of how to find a venue to sell their work or who are seeking community encouragement.
Gallery Access and Offerings
The gallery space at 1500 Kearns Blvd, Space F110 in Park City, is open Wednesday through Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Visitors can browse a diverse range of artwork, including pottery, paintings, jewelry, and works by authors and musicians. The Arts Council noted that the gallery provides an opportunity for both locals and visitors to support the Summit County arts scene by purchasing handmade gifts and unique masterpieces.
Annual Community Events
The Arts Council also facilitates participation in major regional events. Members of the collective have opportunities to display and sell their work at annual gatherings such as the Park City Wine Festival and the Friday Night Gallery Stroll.
Recent Showcase Events
In June 2026, the Arts Council hosted the CREATE PC Summer/Fall Showcase Launch Party during the Friday Night Gallery Stroll. This event featured new artwork, music, and food to celebrate the reopening of a new exhibition. The evening also included the second annual CREATE Pride – Art & Community, a curated exhibition and pop-up art market specifically celebrating Utah's LGBTQIA+ artists and creatives.
Public Art Administration
The Arts Council of Park City & Summit County serves as the administrator and advisor to the Summit County Public Art Advisory Board. This role involves overseeing the county's 1% Percent-for-Art Policy, which mandates that one percent of eligible county capital improvement project budgets be allocated toward commissioning and installing public art. Through this oversight, the council helps ensure that new infrastructure and public buildings contribute to the region's cultural landscape.
