Arts & Culture
Not only are there many talented individuals locally, but the North Fork Valley sports an infrastructure that supports and showcases this artistic output. There are a number of galleries and showrooms located both in the commercial areas of town and at the artist’s location throughout Hotchkiss and Paonia. Exceptional local support for the arts is not a new trend. In fact the local Fine Arts Association is over 50 years old.
Those looking for instruction in the arts, or in a craft or skill will be pleased by the many opportunities available. Want to learn dance or yoga? Want to get hands-on experience with everything from pottery to watercolors to gourd art, to stained or fused glass? Want to experience great live performances?
