Main Street’s galleries are a quintessential part of Park City, as is the monthly gallery stroll. But a few spots tucked around town are equally worth exploring.

Housed on Main Street from 2002 to 2022, JG Art Gallery moved to the Prospect Executive Suites on Prospector Avenue in 2023. Though a quieter part of town for foot traffic, owner Jude Grenney hopes “to activate it a little bit more” through events with local restaurants and live music. This summer, she is partnering with neighboring Prospector Square restaurants during the gallery strolls. “Clients who stop by during our opening receptions can pick up coupons for dining incentives in the Prospector area,” she says. 

At the Park City gallery (a second location is on Bainbridge Island, Washington), Grenney shows works she thinks will interest local audiences, including exhibitions highlighting nature, animals, and ski culture. “The artwork I represent is determined by my aesthetic and my decades of experience in the industry.” 2078 Prospector Ave

Julie Nester Gallery opened in the Iron Horse district in 2004, showing its lively contemporary works in a former industrial space that’s larger than many available on Main Street. Its distinctive location and convenient parking lot have enabled the gallery to stand out over the years, often catching the eye of people passing by on Bonanza Drive. The gallery highlights abstract and modern artists working in a range of media—including paintings, mixed media, and sculpture—in frequent solo and group shows. 1280 Iron Horse Dr

Founded in 1976 on Park Avenue, the Kimball Art Center is an anchor of the local cultural scene. It eventually outgrew its space on Main Street and moved to Bonanza Park in 2016. Now the goal is to move into a new building—in a still-in-the-planning-process Arts District—in the next five years.

In addition to providing arts education to thousands of students annually, the Kimball curates three gallery exhibitions each year; this summer’s theme is based around walking. And while its annual Arts Festival remains a big draw, Executive Director Aldy Milliken is looking to move away from the festival experience, which focuses on large numbers of people in a short time. “This is a small town, so if we can do high volumes of people spread out over the whole year, everyone’s going to be happy,” she says. “Everyone’s going to be able to experience art in a deeper way.”

In the wake of the announcement that the Sundance Film Festival will depart Park City for Boulder in 2027, Milliken encourages people to engage with the city’s other homegrown arts organizations. “With strong institutions, we will build a much stronger cultural and creative future,” she says. 1251 Kearns Blvd
