What Park City Summit County Arts Council does
Mission
The mission of the Art Council of Park City & Summit County is to serve our arts & culture community by driving creative programming, providing valuable resources, and cultivating connections. We envision a community where arts & culture is critical, where creatives thrive, and where all people connect through the arts. We execute this work through four core areas of work: programming, marketing, public art, and planning/advocacy activities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Creative Activities / Events / Community Programming: The Arts Council conducts events and programming throughout the year to ensure Arts & Culture thrives for our community. Signature programs include the Latino Arts Festival, Summit Arts Market, Art on the Trails, and our year-round CREATE PC Local Artist Collective. Partnership programs include the Monster Drawing Rally with the Kimball Art Center, Art & Music Gallery Stroll with the Park City Gallery Association, Summit County Fair Fine Art Show with Summit County, and Dia de los Muertos with Artes de Mexico en Utah.

We also conduct social media activities with over 17,000 followers highlighting local arts activities, and release 2 monthly newsletters with information about events, artist grants, residency opportunities, public art open calls, etc.
$172,444 spent21% of program spendingPlanning and Advocacy: As an Arts Council, we consistently assess the health and vitality of the local Arts & Culture sector to help direct our advocacy efforts and plan for the future. Part of that work includes data collection and analysis to help us understand quantifiable metrics such as Industry data, cultural nonprofit impact, cultural event impact, and investments in the sector to help us understand trends, forecasting, and overall health. The Arts Council worked with both national and statewide agencies to offer two different types of economic impact studies over the last few years including the Kem C. Gardner Utah Cultural Industries Study and Arts & Economic Prosperity 6 Study. We are also about to launch an Arts & Culture Master Plan for Summit County. The Arts & Culture Master Plan will guide Summit County in amplifying that power to ensure the actions of the Arts & Culture sector align with City and County priorities and provide maximum social, cultural, and economic benefits that enhance local quality of life.
$147,809 spent18% of program spendingPublic Art Activities: The Arts Council contracts with both Summit County and Park City Municipal to provide public art management services throughout the County. We also create partnerships with entities throughout the community to help execute public art projects in private developments such as the Artful Gondolas in Canyons Village, or the Art Snow Globes on Main Street.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $299k to $402k (+35%).
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 54% · 2018 68% · 2019 56% · 2020 43% · 2021 48% · 2022 46% · 2023 61% · 2024 44% · 2025 53%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $29k → $48k.
3 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 72% 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 Park City Summit County Arts Council’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
Park City Summit County Arts Council leans on a few funders — its largest provides 68% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
96% 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 Park City Summit County Arts Council.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 55% · 2018 65% · 2019 97% · 2020 79% · 2021 56% · 2022 64% · 2023 54% — broadly stable.
“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
60% of Park City Summit County Arts Council's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 56% 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
72% of Park City Summit County Arts Council'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 $157k that is directly attributable, 89% of it comes from funders outside Utah, across 4 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $413k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
