Beneath the Snow

Experience winter’s quiet beauty at the Wilkinson Public Library.

Step inside Telluride Arts HQ to discover Beneath the Snow, a seasonal exhibition that reflects how winter softens the world above while creativity continues to flourish underneath. This show brings together the radiant, bold mountain scenes of Celeste Bickford, the atmospheric landscapes and floral abstractions of Susan B. McCormick, and the dynamic, philosophically rooted abstractions of Daniel Kanow. Together, they reveal the many ways light, movement, and imagination persist through the coldest months—reminding us that even in stillness, life is unfolding.
