"We're just going to unlock the door, and we'll be open," said owner Bonnie Deffebach. Parkites who have been walking the north side of Main Street the last month have watched the new gallery come together a transformation from the space vacated by General Mercantile last month. The old building now sports sparkling, chalk-white walls and ceiling, a handsomely-refinished handsomely-refinished oak floor, sparse but classic furnishings and a varied display of arts works, with more to come. For both Bonnie Deffebach and her husband, Tex, the Labor Day weekend opening will be the fulfillment of a life-long dream. Both have had a long-standing romance with the art world, enhanced by years of world travel during his employment with the Northrop Corporation. Somewhere along the line the Deffebach's discovered Park City, bought some lots on upper Park Avenue and just recently, purchased the General Mercantile building, which was once a butcher shop at 515 Main Street. "I've always had a dream of doing this," Bonnie said. That dream also promises to be a boon to local artists. A priority, she said, will be to promote the work of Park City residents; to provide year-around exposure for the town's talent, and to bring artists together for creative stimulation. The big old oak refrigerator door of the old butcher shop still dominates the south wall of the spacious front room. Bonnie has hung a collection of posters, water K- -.

She owns more than 300 of the brightly colored molas. The technique involves sewing layers of fabric into intricate geometries. The molas were collected during the Deffebach's Def-febach's years of travel and residence in South America. Both the Deffebachs are intent on continuing their collection of arts and crafts of foreign countries. Bonnie said her husband, who will continue traveling for Northrop, Nor-throp, will explore the foreign markets for unique items while she remains in Park City to share the collection collec-tion with Parkites and visitors. Fine arts will fill the walls of the front room. In the back, workmen are putting put-ting the finishing touches on a smaller room which will display craft items. Another of Bonnie's plans, in line with her penchant for promoting local artists, calls for creating studio space upstairs. up-stairs. There's a small loft right now that will be available, and space for four or five more working artists will be added in the future. Bonnie herself is a painter, working in acrylics on canvasa can-vasa medium she was encouraged en-couraged to pursue through her sister-in-law, artist Lee Fee Deffebach of Salt Lake City. She has other partners and friends in the business Ruth Hansen, also of Salt Lake, and Elaine Amsterdam Am-sterdam Farley and her husband, Bill, who pop in and out of Park City frequently. frequen-tly. One local artist who's excited ex-cited about the propsect of an outlet for Park City artists ar-tists is Diane Balaban, president of the Park City Artists' Association. The association will be holding its September meeting in the Hand in Hand Gallery and discussing plans for exhibiting members works on a cooperative basis. She noted that it will be the first time association members and other area artists will be able to have their work before the public on a regular basis. Bonnie and Tex, who maintained a permanent residence in Beverly Hills, Calif., before moving to Park City, are the parents of four children, plus a foster son, all of them grown but still frequent visitors here during ski season. "I don't know how I got into in-to this, but it seems like it was inevitable," Bonnie said. "We want to be known for providing a certain international in-ternational style of arts and crafts. And we want artists to come together here to share creative energy. The building complex itself it-self will keep the name "General Mercantile" with "Square" added to carry out the multi-use idea. "Hand In Hand" is the name of the main gallery itself, it-self, taken from the adage, "Whoever touches a handmade hand-made piece, touches the hand of the one who made it." D ouglas Snow exhibit will open at Kimball gallery The University of Utah's V. Douglas Snow will exhibit his most recent paintings in the Kimball Art Center's main gallery Aug. 29 through Sept. 23. This will be the artist's ar-tist's first one-man show since sin-ce his retrospective exhibit at the BountifulDavis Art Center in 1978. A native of Salt Lake City, Snow studied art at the University of Utah, the American Art School and Columbia University. He received his BFA and MFA degrees from Cranbrook Academy. In 1950, Snow won a Fulbright Fellowship to Italy. After he completed the fellowship, he was invited to have several one-man shows across the country. In the November 1957 issue of Life magazine, Snow was recognized as one of four artists ar-tists who makes "skillful use of modern styles to embody their own vital response to the world of nature in the west." Snow joined the University of Utah's faculty in 1954 after teaching two years at Wayne University in Detroit and one year as a guest professor at Stanford. While at the University of Utah, Snow also served as chairman of the Department of Art from 1965 to 1971. Snow's work is currently included at the Salt Lake Public Library, University of Utah School of Social Work, Iron Blosam Lodge at Snowbird and the Western Airlines Terminal at the Salt Lake International Airport. In addition, his work is in the permanent collections of Ford Motor Company, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Westminster College, Salt Lake Art Center and the Utah Museum of Fine Art. The upcoming exhibit at the Kimball Art Center will include oils, gouache paintings paint-ings and drawings. Says the artist, "Most of these paintings paint-ings were completed during the past three years at my studio in Southern Utah. I live in a pinon pine forest surrounded by great rock formations that sink deep into in-to the foothills of Boulder Mountain. These paintings are far more literal than the uninitiated might suppose; and my mind and emotions move freely between painting paint-ing essentially what I see and intensifying what I feel." The Kimball Art Center will hold an opening reception recep-tion honoring the artist Sunday, Sun-day, Aug. 29 from 3 to 5 p.m. in the main gallery. The reception is free and open to the public. In conjunction with the opening, the center will be showing a Claudia Sizemore film about Professor Snow. The V. Douglas Snow exhibit is being sponsored by Corroon & Black Insurance.
