Wacky Wednesday | Ages 7-10
Get ready to get silly, creative, and a little bit messy! Wacky Wednesday is all about exploring art in the most playful way possible. Each week, kids dive into a new off-the-wall project-think upside-down drawings, unusual materials, goofy color combinations, and art prompts that spark big imagination. We’ll experiment, laugh, try new techniques, and celebrate the joy of making something totally unexpected. Perfect for young artists who love to think outside the box and create without limits!

Annual events in Crested Butte and Gunnison
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!
