Established 1947: The Need for Continued Support
Founded in 1947, Gilpin Arts has been a cornerstone of artistic enrichment and cultural vitality in our community for nearly eight decades.

Our initiatives include art exhibitions, educational workshops, community outreach, and special events that celebrate the diverse talents and rich artistic heritage of the region.
Despite our longstanding tradition of service and impact, Gilpin Arts faces significant financial challenges. The costs of maintaining facilities, supporting artists, and presenting high-quality programming continue to rise.
