Special Edition Salon Night - Paint Your Canvas for the Community Art Project!

Join us for Salon Night on May 21, where we’ll gather at the Telluride Arts HQ Gallery for a relaxed, hands-on creative session inspired by the This Is Colorado community art project. All materials are provided - just bring your imagination and leave with a piece ready for exhibition this summer.

More about Salon Nights:

Salon Nights are inspired by the legendary Parisian salons—those lively gatherings where artists, thinkers, and dreamers came together to debate, collaborate, and inspire the movements that shaped art and culture. We’re bringing that spirit into the present and rooting it here in Telluride.

These are evenings for conversation and connection, not lectures or formal programming. They are casual, open, and intentionally unstructured, designed to create the atmosphere where ideas can collide, new friendships form, and creativity sparks. Imagine an evening where musicians talk with writers, painters meet photographers, filmmakers share stories with ceramicists—and the unexpected happens!

Salon Nights celebrate the unique character of Telluride’s creative community and the belief that art thrives when people come together. We invite artists, thinkers, creatives, and anyone who loves the arts to join us. There’s no right way to participate—just come ready to connect, share, and see what unfolds.
