We’ve, started to brainstorm about what can we do together for the community that could be used optimally.” Marrouche pointed out that the Kimball and Sundance have lots of experience working together, during the Sundance Film Festival, for example. “But this is taking it a giant step further,” she said, adding, “This collaboration has been so positive. We each have our own mission but together we have the community in mind and there is a common goal. We are better together.” A-9 The Park Record PA R K C I T Y A RTS & CULTURE CONCEPT DIAGRAM COURTESY OF PARK CITY MUNICIPAL CORP. A preliminary concept shows city plans to have spaces for the Kimball Art Center and Sundance Institute. The rest of the property would include retail spaces, affordable housing, parking and a transit hub. GSBS ARCHITECTS C O N C E P T F O R PA R K C I T Y A R T S D I S T R I C T Sundance chimes in Betsy Wallace, C FO and managing director of the Sundance Institute, agrees and underscored her organization’s commitment to the project. “I think we are at a perfect time -- all the stars are aligned for this to occur,” she said. “We are excited about Park City being our home. We’ve been here for 30 years and we truly want to be part of an active, engaging arts-and-culture district, known not only within the confines of Park City, but within the state of Utah, within the U.S., and that has an international draw to it,” Wallace added. Like the Kimball, Sundance has signed a letter of intent with the city describing plans to purchase a parcel within the Bonanza Park property. The goal is to build a projected 45,000-squarefoot headquarters. But Wallace said it is too early to be more specific about uses for the space. “The building is part of a larger campaign. We are really looking at the 40th anniversary of the Sundance Institute, and we are in the process of trying to get a sense of what we need,” said Wallace. As the Institute looks to the future, Wallace emphasized that it hopes to expand its year-round programs while continuing to fine tune its signature Film Festival in Park City. “We would love to make sure that our nonprofit is a viable, forward-thinking business that includes the festival, but is not just the festival. It is a 12-month, year-round nonprofit. We do a lot of work to support our artists that is outside of the festival, and we need to make sure we have that we taken care of,” she said. Both Marrouche and Wallace noted the positive impact a dedicated arts-and-culture district could have on the community.

While the arts district has received a seal of approval from the Park City Council, the partners have a lot of work to do before they can break ground. The city is currently finalizing its purchase of the property from a local developer. Later this month, according to Park City’s Capital Budget, Debt, & Grants Manager Nate Rockwood, the city will issue a Request for Proposals for a design team and consultant to work with the partners through the design and planning process over the next year.
