Art and culture are increasingly influencing travel decisions, with travelers seeking experiences that feel immersive and deeply rooted in place.
For travelers drawn to destinations where art and culture define the stay, Sundance Mountain Resort is a natural fit. From its renowned Art Studio & Gallery to its legendary Bluebird Cafe Concert Series, the resort offers thoughtful programming that embeds creativity into the guest experience.
Founded by the late Hollywood icon Robert Redford in 1969 with a mission of conservation and creativity, Sundance Mountain Resort is a beloved year-round escape in Utah’s Wasatch Mountains where outdoor adventure meets arts, culture, and deep-rooted sustainability.
Guests can tap into their creative side at the resort’s on-site Art Studio & Gallery, where art and nature come together through hands-on workshops and rotating exhibitions. Located in the heart of the Resort Village, the studio offers immersive classes in wheel-thrown pottery, painting, soapmaking, silversmithing, printmaking, and painting across watercolor, acrylic, and oil, alongside drop-in make-and-take projects like candle pouring and beaded necklace design. Through its Visiting Artist Program, the space also spotlights work from local and regional artists, while the Gallery shop features one-of-a-kind pieces ranging from original art to locally made jewelry. The resort serves as a living canvas, inspiring artists of all mediums to draw from the breathtaking landscapes and infuse their creations with the spirit of the mountains.
That creative spirit extends beyond the studio through the resort’s cherished Bluebird Cafe Concert Series. In collaboration with Nashville’s legendary Bluebird Cafe, the series brings talented singer-songwriters and musicians to the resort’s outdoor amphitheater, where each performance pairs original music with the stories behind the songs. With performances throughout June, July, and August, the series has become a defining part of the Sundance experience.
Plus, the newly opened Inn at Sundance offers an ideal home base for arts and culture driven escapes, with 63 thoughtfully designed rooms in the heart of the resort and easy access to the experiences that define Sundance.
