A friend of the gallery passed on this event information for a trunk show on February 10, 11, and 12 at the beautiful Montage in Deer Valley. Perfect timing for Valentine’s Day gifts, no? While you’re there, take a tour of their residences– simply gorgeous.

Amy Ringholz, Artist at Work
Isn’t this studio incredible? The above photo shows Gallery MAR artist Amy Ringholz diligently at work on her latest exhibition “Menagerie,” which premiers Friday, January 13th at the gallery.
Please plan to join us, along with Ms. Ringholz, in the gallery for this exciting showcase of new artwork in both her traditional styles and the new “Urban Wildlife” series.

“Wish”
What “more birthdays” means to me: It means more laughter and more joy in the world.
The American Cancer Society has been running their “Official Sponsor of Birthdays” motto for several years now. I love this idea. Truly, what is better than celebrating each and every birthday and a gift that we are able to receive. My own grandmother has been able to celebrate 102 and of them. Imagine that. Every year that we are cancer free, healthy, and happy should be a year filled with gratitude, beauty… and, of course, fine art.
And now, you can buy art and support cancer research. Great idea, no? At www.morebirthdays.com you can select art or music for purchase, and make a simultaneous donation to the American Cancer Society. Some of the art, music, and birthday greetings are even free. It’s a win-win. The American Cancer Society has been part of nearly every cancer research breakthrough. To learn more about their research accomplishments and milestones, click here.
At Gallery MAR, we consistently strive to support our community and non-profits here in Park City. It is our goal at Gallery MAR to host at least one nonprofit event in the gallery each month. We open our space to nonprofit organizations to host fundraisers, awareness evenings, discussions and talks, and patron thank-you parties. We are proud to be able to assist: Swaner EcoCenter, Recycle Utah, HEAL Utah, Image Reborn, Newcomers of Park City, Arts Kids, The Park City Performing Arts Foundation, Park City Film Series, and the Utah Museum of Fine Arts.
Gallery MAR recently sponsored a runner in the MS Mud Run here in Utah. Take a look at this mussy T-shirt shot…

(9) I can’t believe how talented these artists are! I could never do this!
(8) Oh, man, my kid could paint that…
(7) Are you the artist? Did you do all of this stuff?
(6) When is your next big sale?
(5) Can I get on your coupon mailing list?
(4) Here’s my credit card.
(3) I just love the paint-by-numbers piece!
(2) These paintings would be perfect for my home/office/hospital/hollywood-set.
(1) This is my favorite gallery in Park City!
Gallery owner Maren Bargreen has departed for three weeks of (surprise!) honeymooning with her new husband (the trip planner). Clients and friends were clamoring to find out where the couple was headed, and so Maren was asked to write her updates and dispatches from abroad…
We find ourselves in Paris for our final stop. Winding the streets, there are “galeris” throughout the city. The subways are papered with advertisements for exhibitions and the new Basquiat collection. It is amazing to see the value that the French place on all things cultural.
Ther are a few locations of an interesting gallery format, throughout Paris. Several artists have paintings in four sizes. Each artist prices their work at the same price for the same size, and so the field is leveled and it democracizes the work.
It also makes the art eay to understand and, of course, easy to buy. It makes sense, especially for a first time art buyer. What a great idea! (And the artwork isn’t half bad either!)
We head back to the states in a few days, but have truly enjoyed this incredible journey. There is never enough time for a city like Paris, but we have tried to narrow down our choices and and still see all of the gems. The memories, and many photos, will allow it to live on!
PS: We also spent a beautiful week in the Maldives, but the local art was hard to come by at our island resort. The photos from this destination will tell the story, later.

We now fine ourselves in Greece. Santorini Island is a dream vacation spot for everyone, but is a beacon for artists. The sunsets and inspiring Caldera are rich with color and light, perfect for any canvas.
On our first day, we met a German artist who lives here for six months out of the year… Rough life, right? She and her boyfriend travel for much of the year and have found a home here on the island. I bought a piece of her work and it will be shipped to Gallery MAR for my collectors to enjoy a piece of Santorini.
The galleries here mostly feature imitations of ancient Greek work, but I did find an incredible emerging artist gallery. I debated packIng up a crate right there and then, to bring back the works to the states. I’m hoping that a few of these artistic connections that I am making here will benefit collectors in Utah as well!
Pictures will come, and I will update these blogs with amazing photos, as soon as we return. Tonight we hike to Oia and will fly to Athens in the morning for the next stop.
More inspiration and artistic travels to come!

We headed for the airport at 5 am to our unknown destination and the anticipation was killing me. It had been for months! Where would we go? What would we see? Would there be any good art?
My questions were soon answered when we touched down in Copenhagen! Denmark is where Matt and I met nine years ago, and it is a fantaatic city full of facinating history and contemporary artwork and design.
We sound an entiere afternoon in the design and furniture department of Illum, swooning over the Ghost chairs and mid century pieces. Our hotel was designed by famed architect and designer Arne Jacobsen, and his work is all over the city.
We stopped in a few art galleries and spent a morning at the Statens Museum for Kunst and walked through an exhibition of Bob Dylan’s artwork (thank goodness for his day job) and some halls filled with the works of with Danish Masters.
The (relatively) new opera house is one of the city’s jewels, a design stand out, consisting of fourteen floors and an envious view of Copenhagen.
