The Creative Exchange is a monthly series by Telluride Arts designed for the artists and creatives who call Telluride home. It’s a space where emerging and established artists gather to share the knowledge, skills, and stories that fuel their work. Think of it as an open source model for creativity—where we learn from each other, swap ideas, and help strengthen one another’s practice.

Each session is hosted by local artists and creative leaders who bring their own perspectives, techniques, and creative journeys into the room. Topics may span everything from the business of art and professional development, to creative process, storytelling, collaboration, and the philosophical underpinnings of making work in a mountain town that’s both intimate and global.

June’s Creative Exchange will be hosted by Dominique Bruneau Saavedra, and this conversation will be fully in Spanish.
