To enrich the community by providing innovative experiences that entertain, educate, and illuminate. 

 

About

The Park City Performing Arts Foundation dba Park City Institute is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to bringing world-class performances and innovative ideas to the community we serve. Founded in 1998, PCI introduces emerging artists, welcomes celebrated musicians, produces award-winning theater, and creates intimate opportunities for Park City to experience and engage with the world’s most creative, inspiring, thoughtful, and provocative minds. We currently produce five series of programming - summer’s Big Stars, Bright Nights concert series, the fall/winter Main Stage series, Chamber Music at the Eccles Center, Professor of Rock LIVE, and Locals Live.

 

 

The Board and Leadership are committed to operating with the highest integrity, financial sustainability, and transparent governance. Our primary goal is to invest the majority of our annual budget directly into the talent we invite to our stages. PCI relies on the continued support of our sponsors, donors, members, and patrons. Because of your generosity and a shared belief that arts and culture are the backbone of any strong community, PCI is able to ensure equitable access to all its programming by way of free tickets for Park City’s underserved. PCI champions education by creating experiential classroom learning opportunities through which Park City School District students directly engage, collaborate, and create with the speakers, musicians, and performers we host.
