A preliminary concept shows what an arts and culture district might look like. The rendering includes buildings for the Kimball Art Center and the Sundance Institute. Art center, institute and city turn eyes to Bonanza Park NAN CHALAT NOAKER The Park Record Amid the bustle of Arts Festival weekend, visitors might not notice that the event’s namesake no longer occupies its iconic spot at the base of Main Street. But they might pick up rumblings about the Kimball Art Center’s role as an anchor tenant for a proposed new arts and culture district in Bonanza Park. Last month Park City officials announced plans to purchase a 5.25-acre parcel along Kearns Boulevard with the intention of creating an arts and culture district featuring two of the town’s most venerated cultural institutions: the Kimball Art Center and the Sundance Institute. According to an agreement enthusiastically ratified by the Park City Council in July, the Kimball and Sundance will each buy a parcel from the city to build their own facilities. The rest of the property will be developed by the city and will include retail spaces, affordable housing, parking and a transit hub. The plan was hailed by the mayor of Park City as one of those “rare moments when the right people, the right place and the right reasons come together.” The proposed district also received wide support at a recent public meeting. According to the Kimball’s former executive director, Robin Marrouche, who now serves on the board and is helping to oversee the project, “We’re delighted and grateful for the outpouring of support. It truly validates that this is the right idea whose time has come.” Marrouche was at the helm of the Kimball Art Center when the nonprofit first announced plans to expand its footprint on Main Street and launched an architectural design contest to solicit ideas. The project was stymied, though, by the city’s strictly controlled historic district guidelines. Unable to gain approval for its plan, the Kimball ended up selling its Main Street parcel and moving to a temporary location on Kearns Boulevard. Looking back, Marrouche says the new concept for Bonanza Park is better for all. “The reaction has been really inspiring, knowing the community is so behind this idea. It wasn’t supposed to happen over there. It was supposed to happen here,” she said. The Kimball is planning to use proceeds from the sale of the property on Main Street to buy the parcel from the city and is raising additional funds to build a new 30,000- to 40,000-squarefoot art center with expanded studio and exhibit spaces. And since the Kimball is already up and running at a temporary spot in Bonanza Park, Marrouche says, “Our hope and intent is that we won’t have to go dark, that we can keep operations going here, and once the construction is finished on the new building, we could move in and it would be a seamless transition.” Another advantage is the prospect of an enhanced partnership with the Sundance Institute.
