The New York Times just shared an article about a new lineup of art installations that will be part of Powder Mountain, a popular ski destination in Utah.

This ambitious outdoor art program was conceived by Netflix co-founder and former CEO Reed Hastings (who bought the ski resort in 2023) and it's scheduled to open to the public in 2026.

Some of the artists involved are: James Turrell, Nancy Holt, Jenny Holzer, EJ Hill, Arthur Jafa, Nikita Gale, Gala Porras-Kim, Raven Halfmoon, and additional artists are expected to be announced in the coming months.

According to the site, access will be free and open to the public for hiking and biking during summer and fall months, and skiable with a season pass or lift ticket during the winter.
