Park City Kimball Arts Festival 2026

The Kimball Arts Festival is a three-day, award-winning visual arts festival located in the heart of Park City, Utah. Now in its 56th year, it is Utah's longest-running visual arts festival and one of the most highly regarded art events in the West. Professional artists are selected by a blind jury to showcase their work across 13 visual arts media, and more than 27,000 art enthusiasts from around the world converge on Park City's historic Main Street. In 2025, reported artist sales totaled over $2 million, with artists retaining all revenue from artwork sales.

The festival takes place August 7-9, 2026, featuring Friday evening hours (5pm-9pm), Saturday hours (10am-8pm), and Sunday hours (10am-6pm). Applications require five images including four representative works and one booth/display image. A $50 application fee applies per media category, and artists may submit up to 13 applications total but only once per category. The jury process involves 12 art experts including collectors, gallery owners, and local artists who score applications in a blind review.

Proceeds support the nonprofit Kimball Art Center, Park City's community art center since 1976, funding art education in public schools, scholarships for low-income children, and hands-on instruction for teenagers. The festival consistently ranks among the top festivals in the country for artist sales and attendee experience, with comprehensive marketing support and over 2.4 million media impressions.
