Augment Music Project

Augment Music Project is a fiscal sponsee of Telluride Arts

Founded in 2020, Augment Music Project is dedicated to supporting the local music scene in the Telluride area. We believe that the vibrancy of Telluride's music scene extends beyond the major festivals and includes a very talented group of musicians who call this area home. 

Augment is committed to community impact through music, evidenced in our  annual grant program and the live music opportunities we provide to local musicians.

Since 2023, Augment Music Project has offered funding through Telluride Arts annual grant program, providing the funding and grant committee for the music category. Our review and selection process aligns with the broader goals of the grant program, with a strong emphasis on the community impact of each application. To date, Augment Music Project has awarded grants to 12 musicians/groups within the Telluride region. These funds have helped recipients advance their careers in various ways, including studio time, equipment purchases, and music video production. 

Committed to enhancing the vibrancy of Telluride's local music scene; Augment coordinates and funds a variety of community-focused shows throughout the year, including the weekly Telluride Farmer's Market and the FREE Summer Concert Series in Elks Park. Augment is always looking for opportunities to support local musicians and enhance events, especially those hosted by other non-profits, with live music.
