For over 50 years, the Crested Butte Arts Festival has been a beloved summer tradition—an iconic celebration of creativity, community, and culture.
Beyond celebrating artistic expression, the CBAF is a vital source of financial support for our local creative ecosystem. Proceeds from the event directly fund the Artistic Enrichment Grant, the only program in the Gunnison Valley dedicated to supporting individual artists and arts organizations. Additionally, our Student Art Showcase provides emerging youth artists with mentorship and real-world experience in presenting their work.
Your support helps keep this creative cycle alive—fueling inspiration, opportunity, and impact across our valley.
Join us in sustaining the arts throughout the Gunnison Valley!
The Crested Butte Society (dba Crested Butte Arts Festival), awakens and nurtures artistic enrichment throughout the Gunnison Valley. We present the annual Crested Butte Arts Festival to sustain cultural vibrancy, advocate for a thriving creative community, and financially support local artistic programs.
