Approximately 350 people went to the Utah premiere of "Outlaw Blues," a movie starring Peter Fonda and Susan Saint James. The premiere was a fund-raising event organized by the Kimball Art Guild, a volunteer group supporting Kimball Kim-ball Art Center. "It was everything we hoped it would be and more," said Guild President Tina Lewis. The festivities began at Silver Wheel Theatre where the movie was shown at 6:30. Preceeding the movie, Kimball Art Center President, David Fernandez, introduced in-troduced Bill Kimball, chairman of the Art Center Board of Trustees. Producer of "Outlaw Blues," Steve Tisch, was also introduced at the theatre. Steve Tisch is the brother of local resident Laurie Tisch, who is a member of the board of directors of the Art Center. Moments before the movie started, Tina Lewis was presented a bouquet of flowers by Ms. Tisch for her many hours of work in organizing the "Outlaw Blues" event. Tina Lewis gave Bill Kimball a check for $4500 which was the amount made as a result of the fund-raiser. Following the movie, everyone went to Kimball Art Center for a barbeque dinner, catered by Lloyd Stevens, owner of the Claimjumper. The Art Center was full of people, taking up nearly all available space, including upstairs up-stairs in the Main Gallery, the members room, downstairs classroom class-room area, and outside on the patio. Tables were set up throughout the building. There was country-western music, playing play-ing through speakers, even out on the patio. Live music was also provided by singer John Hansen. "There was a marvelous mixture in the crowd, young and old alike," said Tina Lewis, "that was one thing 1 particularly noticed." The buffet included barbeque chicken, ribs, corn on the cob, baked beans, and salad. There was free beer, wine, - and soft drinks as well as two bars, upstairs and downstairs set-up for mixed drinks. Nearly all of the board of directors attended the "Outlaw Blues" fund-raising event. They came from all over the country. Many people came from Salt Lake who had never been in the Kimball Art Center, and Tina Lewis said, "We made so many new friends for Park City and the Kimball Art Center." Many of those who attended stayed late in the night, eating, drinking, looking at paintings, and meeting each other for the first time. Tina Lewis said she was deeply grateful for the "incredible job" performed by all the volunteers who helped make this first major fund-raising project of Kimball Art Guild such a success. The Kimball Art Guild was formed approximately three months ago. "This was a massive undertaking undertak-ing in such a short time," Mrs. Lewis said. Plans are already in the making for the next fund-raising benefit for Kimball Art Center, she added. It should take place in November. As far as the "Outlaw Blues" premiere was concerned, Tina Lewis said simply, "It was a raving success." Some took the Car 19 Trolley to the Art Center for the Western Barbeque after the show... y A - v-- . 'I ' -H" J SaDy and Barney Rosenblatt, member of the Art Center Board of Trustees |
