Aug. 4th:  2016 Kimball Art Center Gala

2016 Kimball Art Center Gala, Featuring The Way of the Rain – A Live, Multidisciplinary Art Performance Created by Sibylle Szaggars Redford

The annual Kimball Art Center Gala, an outdoor, tented event taking place at our new location, precedes and honors the 47th Annual Park City Kimball Arts Festival. The evening will include The Way of the Rain, a live multidisciplinary art performance that invites the audience to remember their physical and spiritual connection to our planet’s beauty and plight through paintings, music, dance, film, light and spoken word. The performance will feature world-renowned musicians Will Calhoun, Dave Eggar and Chuck Palmer, as well as tap dancer Andrew Nemr, and guest artist Robert Redford.

The evening will also include a cocktail reception, live auction and seated dinner to launch Sibylle Szaggars Redford’s new art exhibit, Summer Rainfall, running in the Main Gallery from August 4 – September 25.

Fashion Alert: With the evening taking place outside under an elegant tent, we recommend cocktail attire and sensible footwear as well as a light jacket. Summer evenings in Park City can vary in temperature and we want our guests to be comfortable.

Aug. 4th:  Newpark Concert – Colin Lake

Seven years ago while visiting New Orleans in the springtime, Seattle native Colin Lake met his future wife in the airport. The meeting sparked a cosmic chain reaction that would change his life forever. Overwhelmed by the gravity that seemed to be drawing him to the city, Lake moved to town less than a year later and his passion and innate feel for roots music would find fertile ground from which to spring. While his powerful vocal style and soulful touch on the guitar and lap steel owe heavily to countless blues greats, it’s Lake’s knack for song craft that sets him apart from almost anyone in that genre.

Aug. 6th: Park City Film Series – Sherpa

A fight on Everest? It seemed incredible. But in 2013 news channels around the world reported an ugly brawl at 21,000ft as European climbers fled a mob of angry Sherpas. In 1953, New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay had reached the summit in a spirit of co-operation and brave optimism. Now climbers and Sherpas were trading insults – even blows. What had happened to the happy, smiling Sherpas and their dedication in getting foreigners to the top of the mountain they hold so sacred? Determined to explore what was going on, the filmmakers set out to make a film of the 2014 Everest climbing season, from the Sherpas’ point of view. Instead, they captured a tragedy that would change Everest forever. At 6.45am on 18th April, 2014, a 14,000 ton block of ice crashed down onto the climbing route through the Khumbu Icefall, killing 16 Sherpas.

Enjoy your week!
