BASDEN Of the RecoiJ stuff The year 2003 was a good one for l'ark City where the arts are concerned. As with anything, controversy surrounded some issues while others received nothing noth-ing hut praise. Some hot topics splashed the headlines - Moose on the Loose. Sundance opening night in l'ark City, public art and an Olympic Legacy Project. Issues such as these made 2003 a year to remember. Here, we narrow down the top five arts stories of the year. Each of the stories have made or will make an impact on Park City and the arts community, commu-nity, for better or worse. 5. Mountain Town Stages had a modest mod-est beginning in 2000. This year. First Chair Randy Barton made an impact overseeing 129 free summer concerts with three venues on Main Street, one at Hie Canyons and one in Peoa. Barton works year round to bring in local, regional and national acts, trying to avoid booking the same musicians twice. Locally, there is an exception. "We really try to give our local artists first crack at "stages." These are the acts that have developed a following among residents. The concerts run almost daily beginning begin-ning in June and ending in August. Although this is a major event for Park City, the music aficionado has not stopped his programming there. Barton's dedication to growing the musical presence pres-ence in Park City is an ongoing effort. MuMM's the Word monthly musicians meeting is dedicated to providing artists with a means of developing their talent by creating original work.

"Alone on Stage in Park City" is a festival for singers and songwriters to come together and display their work. For efforts such as these. Randy Barton and Mountain Town Stages conies in at a No. 5. 4. It has been a tumultuous year for the Egyptian Theatre Company. Just when things seemed to be looking up. the theatre faltered again. After receiving blow after blow though, Park City's notorious noto-rious theatre keeps fighting back. In October things seemed to be heading toward brighter days with the appointment appoint-ment of Bob Steere as managing director and Dana Kciter as artistic director. Two months later, Steere resigned for personal. The theatre has admittedly struggled financially in the past few years. It was the job of the managing director to turn that around. For now, board member Marialice Klein is acting as interim director. Mum is the word for this group as they work to find a new director. Steere had been working on a proposal for the theatre's future, but it is not known whether it was completed or not. There is reason to celebrate, however. The financial torn non-profit is expecting a large chunk of change as a result of the Moose on the Loose fundraiser. This organization will likely receive more than $100,000 once all is said and done. The Egyptian and their many hardships earn the theatre a place at No. 4. 3. The Park City Council approved $200,000 for art in public places in June of this year. A public art advisory board is currently being developed to determine deter-mine how funds should be designated and suggestions for future sources of funding.
