This summer, Kimball Art Center gives art lovers two reasons to make the trip to Park City: the return of the Kimball Arts Festival, and (Re)sounding, their most immersive exhibition yet.
(Re)sounding
May 15–September 13, 2026
Kimball Art Center, Park City
Park City is already known for its mountains, its Main Street, and its winters. This summer, with its newest exhibition and upcoming Arts Festival, Kimball Art Center gives art lovers one more reason to make the trip. For five decades, Kimball Art Center has presented the type of contemporary art worth traveling for, and with their newest show, they’re taking it a step further by asking visitors not just to look, but to listen.
(Re)sounding, opening May 15 and running through September 13, 2026, is Kimball Art Center’s most immersive exhibition to date. The show gathers thirteen artists whose practices span acoustic installations, visual translations of sound, and interactive media. “I like introducing people to all different kinds of work,” says Nancy Stoaks, who has built a curatorial identity around exhibitions that challenge what art can be. “Sometimes you’ll find a beautiful oil painting. And sometimes you’ll find something made out of materials you never thought an artist would use.”
The anchor of the exhibition is a major installation by Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, the Canadian duo whose immersive audio-visual environments have captivated audiences at institutions from MoMA to the Venice Biennale. Alongside them, Christine Sun Kim explores the social and political dimensions of sound through the lens of Deaf experience. Jónsi, the Sigur Rós frontman whose music has long occupied the space between sound and sensation, brings his visual art practice to the show, expanding the exhibition’s reach beyond the gallery-world faithful. Jon Bernson, Yuri Suzuki, Jacob Kirkegaard, Maria Chávez, Tuomas A. Laitinen, Milad Mozari, Christian Marclay, Andy Rappaport, and Mary Toscano and Andrew Rease Shaw round out a lineup that is, in every sense of the word, unheard of.
What (Re)sounding offers, and what Kimball consistently delivers, is the rare chance to encounter work of this caliber in an intimate, unhurried setting. Park City’s hidden gem offers a true invitation to dwell inside sound, to feel its weight and resonance, and to leave listening more carefully than you arrived.
The exhibition runs through the summer, making it the perfect companion to Park City’s most beloved warm-weather tradition: the Park City Kimball Arts Festival, returning to Historic Main Street August 7-9, 2026. Now in its 57th year, the festival draws nearly 200 jury-selected artists and approximately 30,000 visitors over three days, and consistently ranks among the top arts festivals in the country. More than 1,200 artists apply each year, and roughly 190 are selected through a competitive jury process—ensuring a dynamic mix of returning favorites and new voices from across the nation and around the world.
Together, (Re)sounding and the Kimball Arts Festival make a compelling case for Park City as a summer cultural destination. Whether you’re encountering a Cardiff and Miller soundscape for the first time or hunting for a new work to bring home on a sun-drenched Sunday afternoon, Kimball Art Center is where the best kinds of artistic discoveries happen.
