RELEVANT 2010 is an artist-in-residence program for emerging cutting edge artists dedicated to developing their artistic career. Students are given the experience of developing art for sale, while being challenged to expand their artistic boundaries. During the residency each student's primary goal is to create a piece of artwork that will be sold at the Opening Night Art Auction and Gala and be on display during the Arts Festival. Students are given a theme, timeline, budget and private studio space. Daily work sessions will include critiques by mentors and peers. The residency requires dedication, long hours, deadlines and flexibility.

RELEVANT 2010 is a platform for discovery. The residency will place students in the spotlight, through interaction with the public, interviews with film crews and participation in the Opening Night Auction and Gala. The Park City Kimball Arts Festival is rated as one of the top ten festivals in the country. The three-day festival attracts 45,000 attendees and national press, providing students with great exposure and the opportunity to foster relationships with future collectors.

Spiro Arts, an artist-in-residence community and workshop center located in the beautiful Silver Star community in Park City, Utah will provide the studio space and lodging for the RELEVANT artists. Situated on a historic mine site adjacent to Park City Mountain Resort, the rustic architecture and newly restored mine buildings provide a unique setting for Spiro's multidisciplinary programs, while also serving as headquarters for Park City's Sundance Film Festival. Spiro Arts hosts a diverse community of visual and literary artists while offering residencies, open studio events, a public lecture series, Writers at Work Conference, life drawing sessions, Art Auction Gala and summer workshops for adults and children.
