The Crested Butte Society awakens and nurtures artistic enrichment throughout the Gunnison Valley.
We present the annual Crested Butte Arts Festival to sustain cultural vibrancy, advocate for a thriving creative community, and financially support local artistic programs.

Artists nationwide are invited to apply for the Crested Butte Arts Festival in Crested Butte, Colorado. The 52nd Annual Festival returns to its traditional downtown venue on historic Elk Avenue in the heart of the Crested Butte Creative District, August 2-4, 2024. Crested Butte, renowned for its mountain charm and stunning panoramic landscape is also characterized by a large second home-owning population who are perennial art-buyers. We invite contemporary fine art/craft exhibitors to apply in 13 categories.
