Written by admin on .

Follow your hearts to Salida and join us in Colorado’s largest National historic district and one of the state’s first Creative Districts for an art filled weekend at the 31st annual Salida ArtWalk October 10-13 featuring numerous activities for art enthusiasts and collectors! The arts and artists have long been an integral part of Salida, and the downtown district features a highly concentrated number of artist-owned and operated galleries featuring regional, national, and award-winning fine artists showcasing paintings, photography, ceramics, jewelry, sculpture, fiber art, metal and glass work, mosaics, printmaking, salvaged art and more! Many artists can be found in various pop-up venues throughout downtown as well as literary artists, creative industries, live music, and a fine art museum. In addition to being a beautiful Fall weekend to visit, Salida ArtWalk presents gallery receptions on Friday night and curated exhibits, performances, and specialty menu items at the many restaurants, distilleries, and breweries throughout the weekend. Join us for the Art on the Rocks Sip & Paint Kick Off event presented by High Country Bank; the Invitational Ceramics Show at the Maverick Potter featuring internationally acclaimed ceramic artists; a demo of the 60’ long Salida Community Mosaic public art project; the exciting “Mini Masterpieces” exhibit and auction featuring over 70 miniature pieces by local artists presented by Salida Council for the Arts; as well as artist demos, pop-up venues, and hands on art activities for all ages. Then on Saturday evening October 12, join us as Salida’s performing artists throw a giant ArtWalk pARTy featuring a Parade of the Arts with giant puppets, strolling musicians, street performers, live music, and dancing in Riverside Park- a true celebration of the arts in Salida! Stay for the patron brunch Sunday morning at the Salida Steam Plant and revisit your favorite galleries and pop-up venues and find that perfect piece of art to take home from Salida ArtWalk 2024.
