The 10 Best Art Galleries in Park City, Utah

During the really locked down stage of the pandemic, as I spent days upon days on end at home, my walls started to drive me crazy. They were so empty! So bare! So void of art! Consequently, I have invested in a couple pieces of art this past year and I feel hooked. Art is magical, it is life giving. Therefore, owning art and displaying it in your home is even more special: it is personal, subjective and transformative – both for the physical space and for your own personal attitude.

Many cities and towns have a beautiful range of art galleries with a very diverse spectrum of offerings in all kinds of mediums.  And many galleries have gorgeous websites with excellent customer service to match, so you don’t necessarily need to visit in person to find that perfect piece of art for that special place in your home.

Park City, Utah is one of those towns. A mountain town, Park City is certainly known for world class skiing (the best, in my opinion, and I’ve been skiing lots of places!). But it has an incredible selection of art galleries offering gorgeous works by both local artists and those more far flung. I have collected my top 10 favorites here.  Please note, I have listed them in alphabetical order as it is too difficult to proclaim one gallery as ‘the best’. You will have to visit each to experience the incredible range of talent on display.  From photography, sculpture, painting, from large to small scale, Park City’s art galleries are truly world class. Enjoy!
