With a year-round presence in Green Mountain Falls, CO, Green Box has become a hub for both residents and global visitors, offering a unique blend of visual and performing arts in a scenic mountain setting. Known widely for the annual Green Box Arts Festival each summer, the organization showcases compelling dance, public art, music, and interactive installations that engage audiences in fresh and imaginative ways.

Green Mountain Falls, where Green Box calls home, is a striking mountain town at 7,800 feet, surrounded by the Pike National Forest and within reach of popular Colorado attractions. The town’s trails, lake, and historic charm provide an inspiring backdrop for Green Box’s mission to enrich lives through the arts, fostering a culture of creativity, connection, and learning.
