Yampa Valley Sustainability Council Invites Community Members to Join Them for Insight: Art for Climate Action.

🗓 Saturday, Jun 29, 2024
⏰ 5:00pm
📍 Larson Barn in Steamboat Springs, CO

This annual fundraiser aims to raise awareness and support for YVSC's efforts to reduce emissions and increase climate resilience throughout the Yampa Valley.

The fundraiser has brought together over 40 artists who have created over 60 pieces of art inspired by YVSC's work encompassing resilient land and water, energy and transportation, waste, and community engagement. The month-long exhibition will be displayed at Steamboat Creates until June 27. Additionally, all of the pieces included in the exhibition are available to bid on in the silent auction, regardless of attendance at the event. However, we highly encourage you to join us in person on the day of the event to fully experience the atmosphere and engage with the artists and fellow supporters of climate action.

All pieces featured in the exhibition will be up for auction both online and in-person at the fundraiser event. Bidders can participate in the auction online now at https://events.handbid.com/auctions/insight-art-for-climate-action.

At Pine Moon Fine Art, the May exhibit is a playful twist on art. “Games” features an array of board games, mazes and puzzles – some of which are interactive – with a touch of each artists’ creative flair. Also in May, ceramic sculptor Julie K. Anderson joins Pine Moon as a guest artist. Julie’s pieces are directly inspired by mountainous terrain and her education in biology sciences. After collaborating with companies such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Marriott Hotels, her expertise and appreciation of nature will be an excellent addition to Pine Moon’s repertoire of Steamboat artists.

This First Friday Artwalk, check out Steamboat Creates’ “Celebrating Cabaret” and “Taking Up Space.” In Bliss Hall “Celebrating Cabaret” is a chance to reminisce about the finest moments of one of Steamboat’s favorite traditions, collected from the archives to honor the annual event which will take place this month. In the Platform Gallery, “Taking Up Space” features soft 3-D sculptures inspired by the LGBTQ community and the limitless imagination that surrounds fashion. Created by three high school students, Jack DeCrette, Raven McLaughlin and Henri Ridder, the intriguing shapes are intended to be an inspirational form of wearable art.

Art for Health's Sake 🎨
Art soothes the soul, as the saying goes. The truth in that sentiment is reflected at UCHealth Yampa Valley Medical Center, which has an extensive collection of art, much of it by local artists.

“It’s carefully curated,” says UCHealth’s Lindsey Reznicek. One common denominator among patients has been their desire to get back outdoors, return to their community, and get back to their sport, whether it’s skiing, biking, hockey, pickleball or the myriad of other athletic interests pursued by Routt County residents.

From the Ocean to the Mountains 🌊 🗻
Atilla Feszt has spent the better part of the last two years inspired by a new landscape. Originally from the Bahamas, he moved to Steamboat Springs in early 2022 and immediately took up at Pine Moon Fine Art. After snagging a guest artist spot for six months, the owners voted him in permanently last July. Now, his bold, comicbook-esque prints hang on the gallery’s walls alongside more than a dozen of Steamboat’s artists.

More Than Music 🎻
Strings Music Festival Steamboat Springs, CO is synonymous with music in the mountains but it wasn’t until the pavilion was built in 2008 that their programming expanded.
