A lot of our Mixed Media articles from the past week concern the Park City Arts Festival, a project of the Kimball Art Center (see below).
One of the Kimball’s projects that hasn’t yet hit the headlines is their new Transformation Project, a building project announced last week.
The Kimball Art Center began when Bill Kimball gave the community his former garage, located on Park City’s Main Street. The Kimball has now announced their plans to preserve and renovate the original building while creating a new “state of the art Art Center” adjacent to the old one.
KAC is launching an international architectural design competition inviting architects from around the world to Park City to design the new building. The design competition will kick off in Fall 2011 with letters of invitation going out to architects. A jury will decide on the winner of the competition. This phased project is expected to begin mid 2013 estimating 24 months to complete the project in mid 2015.
During the Park City Arts Festival this weekend KAC set up a Community Wall on the corner of Heber Ave. and Main Street to solicit input. Additional comments can be sent to transformation@kimballartcenter.org a
