Are your walls in need of a refresh? Bring in your “old” art to the Gunnison Arts Center July 10th, 11th, and 12th and pick up something new or new-to-you during our Secondary Art Market July 13th and 14th! Anyone can donate artwork and anyone can shop the market – everyone wins! Donated artwork qualifies for an in-kind Colorado state tax credit OR a coupon towards a new item in the GAC shop, galleries, or market. Some terms apply, please visit our website for more information.
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!
