Programs
Events: Kimball Art Center organizes the Park City Kimball Arts Festival (PCKAF) because we believe the arts should be celebrated in the community and because they provide a valuable way for communities to come together. Each year, we invite artists, local families, and visitors to gather in a lively outdoor setting furnished with high quality art, live music, performances, educational activities, film, and culinary offerings. To ensure PCKAF delivers a dynamic cultural experience for visitors and locals alike, KAC works with key partners, cash and in-kind sponsors, community stakeholders, and over 300 energetic volunteers. Now in its 56th year, PCKAF is one of the longest running and most highly anticipated art festivals in the Western United States. In addition to the Arts Festival, Kimball Art Center regularly hosts community lectures, panels, and other smaller events with the goal of engaging the public in a conversation around art and ideas.
$729,135 spent$350,249 earned by the program38% of program spendingEducation: Our education programs are robust, and serve a deliberately wide swath of the community, from toddlers to seniors and across many mediums and skill levels. We take art on the road through our outreach programs to schools across the county, bringing high quality visual art education to places within and outside the bounds of Park City. And in partnership with Park City Education Foundation, the much-loved EVA program (Elementary Visual Arts) places high-quality art education in our Park City School District from K-5th grade. From numerous studies, we know art education isn't just a "nice to have," it is an essential piece of a child's education, building problem solving skills, creative thinking, and a deep empathy and understanding of a diverse range of viewpoints and backgrounds. We also offer an in-depth, multi-disciplinary studio program for teens as well as a program for senior members of our community.

We believe art provides a conduit for deep human connection, and all of our programs reflect the knowledge that the arts are uniquely suited to sustain a vibrant community, challenge our assumptions, celebrate diverse perspectives, and ultimately build a better community for all. In 2024 we worked with local, national, and international artists to bring diverse perspectives and thrilling visual art to our center. Our exhibitions programs feed into our education programming, taking what's inside our space out into the community and into schools to broaden our impact.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $6.9M to $7.4M (+8%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 14% · 2018 10% · 2019 11% · 2020 36% · 2021 42% · 2022 11% · 2023 15% · 2024 18%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
64% of Kimball Art Center’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (63% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 18 funders, grant income rose $37k → $349k.
8 of 43 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 62% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Kimball Art Center’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 43 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Kimball Art Center has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 29% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
73% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Kimball Art Center.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 49% · 2018 40% · 2019 35% · 2020 37% · 2021 27% · 2022 41% · 2023 25% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
36% of Kimball Art Center's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 53% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
62% of Kimball Art Center's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $764k that is directly attributable, 53% of it comes from funders outside Utah, across 12 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
