Boulder Area Ranked No. 6 in the book 100 Best Art Towns in America, the city once known mainly for its devotion to outdoor recreation has evolved into one that is nationally recognized for its diverse, well-supported and highly respected arts scene. Just 30 miles north of Denver among the spectacular Flatirons rock formations, Boulder was called by The Denver Post “the little town nestled between the mountains and reality.”

Estes Park Since the mid-1800s, artists such as Albert Bierstadt and Charles Partridge Adams have painted en plein air (on location) the essence of Rocky Mountain National Park and the Northern Colorado Rockies for future generations to enjoy and collect. Intrigued by the area’s immense landscape grandeur and dramatic light, more than 100 artists and photographers reside in the greater Estes Valley today. With dozens of galleries, artist studios and national art events, the visual art scene in Estes Park includes venues from museum-quality shows to quaint artist studios.

Southwest Colorado
(Durango, Pagosa Springs and the Four Corners Area)
Nestled in the San Juan Mountain range in one of the most visually pleasing locales in the state, Durango is a Southwest Colorado crossroads for industry, ranching, commerce and the arts. The area’s natural beauty has inspired many artists attracted to the city’s reputation as a “small mountain paradise with a big-city appeal.”
This is one of Colorado’s most active, varied and interesting small-town art communities.
Nearby Pagosa Springs, location of the world-famous hot springs by the same name, is home to several notable galleries. Frequented by travelers from around the globe, these are world-class therapeutic mineral springs spread over 19 pools of varying temperatures overlooking the San Juan River. Thriving with character and culture, the entire Four Corners area is one of ArtScape’s favorite weekend destinations for lovers of art and outdoor adventure.Center of Southwest Studies-Fort Lewis College 1000 Rim Dr., Durango 81301 970-247-7456
