Pam Crowe-Weisberg, Executive Director, Kimball Art Center, Park City, UT — 7-21-06
The Kimball Art Center is a nonprofit community art center celebrating its 30th anniversary. It all began in 1976 when philanthropist Bill Kimball, along with support from members of the Park City community, renovated an abandoned garage to create a nonprofit community art center. Now, under the direction of Pam Crowe-Weisberg, the Kimball is expanding its community outreach and developing into one of the best art centers in the West.
Year-round, the center’s three galleries offer a variety of exhibitions. The Kimball plays host to significant national exhibitions, as well as to shows featuring up-and-coming local artists. In conjunction with each exhibition, regional schools tour the galleries and participate in art education and hands-on creative projects. The art center also offers art classes year round to both children and adults, and gives members access to ceramics, photography and painting studios.
The Kimball Art Center is the cultural hub of Park City. In addition to the annual Park City Kimball Arts Festival and the Kimball Art Auction & Gala, other special events include opening receptions for exhibitions, the annual Arte Latino, Art Talks, and Park City’s monthly Gallery Stroll with live jazz showcasing 23 of Park City’s galleries. The Kimball is open to the public and admission is free.
Pam Crowe-Weisberg is the Executive Director of the Kimball Art Center, located in Park City, UT. Pam Moved to Park City from New York City five years ago, after working in the fashion industry for 30 years. Pam received her undergraduate education in business at New York University and received her Masters degree in costume and textile design from New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology.
