Testimonials

“My experience working with Breck Create on the Día de Muertos festival has been one of reconnecting with the arts and learning more about Mexican and Hispanic cultures and traditions. I also had the wonderful opportunity to translate the voices of so many tireless workers of our community in the artwork descriptions of Stephanie Mercado. This whole experience made me feel part of something that is sending the message of embracing diversity, acceptance, and inclusion, and that is so important. Thank you Breck Create for everything you do to unite us as a community." 
—Elsa Vasquez, Día de Muertos festival associate

“Having Building Hope as a partner at Breckenridge International Festival of Arts (BIFA) shows the commitment Breck Create has to fostering a supportive environment and that mental health is a priority in Summit County.”  
—Kellyn Ender, executive director of Building Hope, BIFA’s partner on the Guided Mindfulness Hikes and Acoustic Flow yoga series
