Dealer’s Choice

October 7, 2016 – November 6, 2016

Dealers' Choice is a collaboration with Park City gallerists, who are a celebrated part of this exhibition. The Kimball Art Center asked local gallerists to look beyond their galleries (both their own and those of the Park City Gallery Association) and think about the other artists who inspire them. Featuring one artist per gallery, these artists come together in a captivating group exhibition. Dealers' Choice is equally about the galleries and the artists they select, with each gallery highlighted through a statement about why they selected their artist, providing insight into our local galleries and gallerists.

Participating galleries and artists include Gallery MAR (Amy Ringholz), J GO Gallery (Nicolas Sanchez), Julie Nester Gallery (Joe Brubaker), Kimball Art Center (Nicole Pietrantoni), Lunds Fine Art Gallery (Christopher Maggio), Meyer Gallery (Fidalis Buehler), Montgomery-Lee Fine Art (William Maughan), Silver Queen Fine Art (Stacey Embry), and Trove Gallery (Kathryn Kilpatrick-Miller).
