Things To Do

6 Arts & Culture Picks for November

Discover unique photography, groove out with the King of Telluride bluegrass, and summit Myanmar's highest peak--all without leaving Park City this November.

By Michaela Wagner October 29, 2018

The Photo '18 exhibit on display at the Julie Nester Gallery (Oct. 26 - Nov. 27) features work from seven photographers.

November has most of us thinking about the return to winter sports, but sliding down the mountain isn't the only thing coming up in Park City. The beginning of the ski season will also be accompanied by insightful art exhibits, lively concerts, and more. Check out some of our favorite up-and-coming arts and culture events below.

Timeless English rock band Foghat takes the stage at the Egyptian Theatre for four nights of shows. Despite several line-up changes over the years, the band still remains strong.

Patricia Smith Art Exhibit at the Park City Library

If you haven't visited the Patricia Smith exhibit at the Park City Library yet, November is your last chance. A local artist, Smith is known for her iconic watercolor and vibrant oil landscapes.
