Rural Arts Connect

PROJECT PARTNERS

The Art Center of Western Colorado

The Art Center of Western Colorado is a regional arts organization dedicated to enriching lives by promoting the enjoyment and understanding of the arts. As a non- profit rural community organization, The Art Center provides engaging exhibitions in five different galleries. The Art Center also provides art educational programming for all ages, performing arts, programs for

mentally and physically challenged individuals, and a collection of opportunities designed to enrich the lives of our community at large. We do this because we believe art is for everyone and is essential to the human experience.

Chaffee Arts

Chaffee Arts has been in existence since 1985. Our organization is 100% volunteer based and we partner with local businesses to provide our artists with venues to show and sell their art. We put on an Open Awards Art Show once a year that typically has over 50 artists participating and up to 100 pieces of art entered. We give away over $2,000 in prize money at this week long show. We also provide free art classes to local students. We display art from our members in the BV Library for two months in the summer—high season for tourists. Our Dine N Paint events are a fundraiser for our organization and bring art to our community. We are only limited by funding and the number of volunteers we can recruit.
