Over time, the nickname “Mother Rock” has been used to describe the iconic peak that reaches out above the small town of Crested Butte. Coming together for this invitational group show, featured artists of Crested Butte are excited to showcase and reflect on what “Mother Rock” means to them through visual art.
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!
