Amy Ringholz – Three New Works
June 25th, 2012
Amy Ringholz’s year is heating up. This September, the Wyoming-based artist is the Featured Artist of the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival. Quite a coup for a woman of her age.

May 22nd, 2012
We are fortunate to have a fantastic Artist in Residency program right here in Park City. Every year, the Spiro Art Center juries in a group of artists, who schlep their art materials and uber-creative selves all the way to our mountain town to revel in the inspiration that is Park City. I’ve found that artists are often pulled in many directions– where to show?

April 27th, 2012
Here’s a topic that demands a whole book rather than a few quickly noted ideas in a blog.
