Applied Color Theory with Don Seastrum Color is one of the fundamental elements of the creative process and as such, it is important to understand how to employ the interactive properties of color to actual works of art. This course explores, through direct application the use of color, hue, value, intensity, simultaneity, and proportion to studio work. Previous experience working with color principles is not necessary. Location: GAC Dance Studio 5 Tuesdays | November 5th – December 10th | Skip November 26th | 10:00 – 11:30 am
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
