Crested Butte Artumn Festival

Posted by kasiapolkowska on Sep 28, 2023 in Autumn, Colorado, Events, Landscape Painting, News | No Comments

Crested Butte is one of my favorite Autumn destinations for hiking, camping and ofcourse LEAF PEEPING! So I lined up an Art Festival to coincide with our annual autumn extravaganza. I applied and was accepted to the Artumn Festival in CB. Following the success at the Durango Autumn Art Festival, I was hoping for a great event. Unfortunately, this festival maybe 5% to 10% of the foot traffic of the Durango Event. Still I med wonderful art friends, connected with great folks enjoying the beautiful day in Crested Butte and I learned a lot, especially to research events I will be applying to in the future to ensure that I put my eggs in the right basket in 2024!
