PARK CITY HIRES NEW ARTS & CULTURE DEVELOPMENT ADVISOR
Robb Woulfe brings over 25 years of arts and entertainment experience to the new role
PARK CITY, UTAH (July 17, 2019) – Park City Municipal is pleased to announce the hiring of Robb Woulfe, as the new Arts and Culture Development Advisor. Woulfe will assist in the planning and development of the new Park City Arts and Culture District, working closely with City officials, Kimball Art Center, Sundance Institute, and community stakeholders. Woulfe will support and advise various aspects of the District’s development, including program design, governance, management and operations, event planning and communications.
“We believe we found an excellent addition to the City’s creative team in Robb, whose expertise in arts and culture, and community building, will benefit Park City,” said Mayor Beerman. “Robb is excited about coming to Park City and welcomes the opportunity to help create a vibrant arts and culture district for residents and visitors alike.”
Woulfe’s experience in the arts and entertainment industry extends over 25 years, holding positions in the public, nonprofit and commercial sectors. Most recently, Woulfe served five years as founding president and CEO of Breckenridge Creative Arts (BCA), an organization that works to leverage and grow creative resources throughout Breckenridge, Colorado.
“I am thrilled to work with Park City on what promises to be one of the most innovative cultural districts in the country,” said Woulfe. “Having worked in a resort town, I understand first-hand the value of using arts and creative practice to promote place identity, enhance community livability, drive tourism, and invigorate entrepreneurs.”
Woulfe led many ambitious initiatives in Breckenridge, including: spearheading the opening and activation of the Breckenridge Arts District, a downtown arts campus and creative learning center; designing an artist residency program; and introducing a fresh, reimagined public art program. Additionally, Woulfe’s leadership at BCA brought a number of accolades, earning Breckenridge the top ranking in the U.S. Arts Vibrancy Index for small communities, multiple grant awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, and winning the Colorado Governor’s Award for Outstanding Community Tourism Initiative.
In July 2017, Park City Municipal purchased a 5.25-acre parcel in the City’s Bonanza Park neighborhood for $19.5 million to form a new Arts and Culture District, with the Kimball Art Center and Sundance Institute as anchor partners. This initiative is intended to expand and strengthen Park City's rich history of arts and culture.

Because of this having your closed cleaned in the conventional manner is not advised. Read below for information on alternatives to conventional dry cleaning and tips for greener dry cleaning.
- First of all decide if your item of clothing really needs to be dry cleaned. Some of your "dry clean only" items like silk, wool and rayons can actually be washed by hand. Many delicate items can be washed at home by hand without all the chemicals. You can also take your piece of clothing to the cleaners to just be pressed without being cleaned to get that crisp professional pressing.
- If you really must take have your clothes professionally cleaned, ideally you want to find a cleaner who specializes in Wet or Liquid CO2 cleaning, which is much more environmentally friendly.
- If your dry cleaning service provides cloth bags to hang your clothes for travel - use them. While the plastic bags used to cover clothes are recyclable, it's much better to eliminate them completely.
- Return your hangers to the cleaner. Unless you actually need or use them, these hangers are still in good condition and can be reused many more times.
