Learn the fundamental skills to help you become a better and more confident artist! These casual, supportive sessions focus on foundational skills like drawing with shapes, values, and proportions, along with observational drawing, use of a grid, and one and two-point perspective. Registration includes all materials, instruction, and one beverage of your choice (beer, wine, or a canned cocktail). Led by teaching artist Linsey Olesiak.
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!
