PARK CITY, UTAH - (August 26, 2010) - Montage Deer Valley, North America's newest mountain resort, opening December 2010 atop Empire Pass in Park City, Utah, has been named an official provider for the "2011 Sundance Film Festival: An Artist at the Table" fundraising event, benefitting the nonprofit Sundance Institute

The 2011 Sundance Film Festival: An Artist at the Table will kickoff the first day of the annual Sundance Film Festival the evening of Thursday, January 20, 2011, by gathering an intimate crowd of guests and artists at the lodge-style Montage Deer Valley for a festive pre-film cocktail reception. The group will then transfer to reserved seats for a film screening at the Eccles Theatre, just one of several competition films playing that night throughout Park City. After the film, guests and artists will return to the resort for a convivial three-course dinner. Each table of nine guests and an artist will enjoy an inventive farm-to-table menu created by Montage Deer Valley Executive Chef Matt Leonard. The evening will also include entertainment by Sundance Institute Composer Fellows. 

This unique fundraiser to benefit Sundance Institute, the presenting organization of the Sundance Film Festival, is a special evening to celebrate the importance of independent artists and their stories.
