The View Through the Window: A Conversation with Bridgette Meinhold
November 4th, 2025

Each October, Park City’s Main Street transforms into a parade of wagging tails, clever costumes, and unbridled joy for one of the town’s most beloved traditions: Howl-o-ween. As the autumn light softens, the aspen leaves turn gold, and the mountain air turns crisp, locals and visitors alike gather – on two legs and on four […]

October 16th, 2025
Fashion has always borrowed from the art world (and vice versa!) but this season the dialogue feels bolder and unmistakable. In Milan and New York, runways transformed into living galleries, merging painting, sculpture, and sound with the movement of fashion. From Bottega Veneta’s sculptural debut to Ulla Johnson’s homage to Helen Frankenthaler, designers are reminding […]

Picture This: Shifting Skies
September 25th, 2025
The skies above Park City are never still. With each season—and often, each hour—they shift from golden dawn to moody afternoon storm, from a blaze of sunset to the cool hush of twilight.

In our ongoing series “The Collector’s Eye,” we step inside the homes—and hearts—of Gallery MAR collectors to discover the stories behind the works they’ve chosen to live with every day.

Original Art in the Age of AI: Why Human Hands Still Matter
September 6th, 2025
We live in a moment when art can be conjured in seconds. A prompt typed into an AI generator yields an image as fast as the computer can render pixels. For many, this is a marvel — limitless possibilities, endless variations, instant gratification. Yet in this rush of algorithmic output, something essential risks being lost: […]

Inspired by this new show, we’re turning […]
