About Salida Creative District
The Salida Creative District is a state designation administered by the City of Salida’s Arts and Culture Department. The Creative District designation certifies our community as contributing to our state’s economy through creativity, culture, and the arts. This designation also creates opportunities for funding through state-sponsored programs for our creative sector. Our mission is to promote, support, and expand existing creative industries with the purpose of driving economic growth and enhancing the quality of life. The Salida Creative District was the first Creative District established in the state of Colorado
As a community that relies heavily on tourism, the Creative District’s offering of special events and festivals throughout the year showcases the vibrancy of the community and a boost to the economy. Salida ArtWalk is produced by the City of Salida Arts & Culture Department Salida Creative District program.
