Navigating Telluride’s Vibrant Art Scene.
Telluride is home to an extraordinary range of cultural nonprofit organizations and festivals that together create one of the most dynamic art communities in the Rockies. The Ah Haa School for the Arts offers classes and workshops for all ages, while Telluride Theatre brings original and innovative performances to local stages. Mountainfilm and the Telluride Film Festival draw global audiences through world-class storytelling on screen. Music thrives here too: from the intimacy of Telluride Chamber Music and the voices of the Telluride Choral Society, to legendary festivals like Telluride Bluegrass (Planet Bluegrass) and the wide range of SBG Productions events, including Jazz Festival, Blues & Brews, and Gay Ski Week. The Sheridan Opera House and Palm Arts enrich the community with performances, dance, and youth programs, while Telluride Arts connects it all as a hub for collaboration, artist support, and signature events like Art Walk. With so many ways to engage, we’re here to help you discover and connect with the arts that make Telluride so vibrant.
