Park City, Utah, has long been known as a winter destination. From world-class skiing to the acclaimed Sundance Film Festival in January, this quaint mountain community is brimming with tourists, locals and part-time residents during the colder months.
Park City’s summer season, however, now rivals what was once this historic mining community’s tourism peak. As the temperatures rise and the snow melts from the mountain, outdoor enthusiasts replace their skis and snowshoes with hiking boots and mountain bikes and hit the 400-plus miles of public trails. Deer Valley, Park City Mountain and Canyons ski resorts even offer lift service for bikers. Park City is also known for its flyfishing, water sports, hot air ballooning, horseback riding and easy access to 15 idyllic golf courses. Mild summer temperatures due to the city’s high elevation create an ideal environment for its abundance of outdoor activities. Visitors who are drawn to Park City for outdoor recreation may be surprised by what else the city has to offer. Arts and culture is an increasingly strong point for this community and, in addition to outdoor tourism, attracts a demographic of its own. Art collectors, artists and art enthusiasts from Utah and around the country come to Park City for its year-round gallery stroll, film series, festivals, theater performances, concerts and more.

Next Exit New York
Coming off his series that focused on San Francisco and Los Angeles freeway signs, artist Eric Nash’s sights are now set on New York. Now on view at George Billis Gallery's Manhattan location are seven of Nash's new oil paintings and two drawings that explore the signage of New York City freeways. Although Nash's work is tightly rendered, he doesn’t consider himself a photorealist, but rather someone who utilizes those techniques to express ideas.
