Center for the Arts Evergreen is more than a gallery or a classroom—it’s a place where your creativity fuels connection, and where art is woven into the everyday life of your mountain communities. Without your continued support, the energy, inspiration, and shared experiences that happen here are at risk of fading.
The donation you choose to make today helps preserve the vibrant exhibitions, community events, and arts education that make Evergreen a cultural hub. Supporting CAE isn’t just about giving—it’s about you belonging to something uniquely meaningful and ensuring it continues to thrive for everyone touched by our programming.
Your monthly gift, even a small one, provides reliable support we can count on, allowing us to plan ahead, keep programs affordable, and respond quickly when needs arise. Statistically, it’s the most impactful way to give, and it connects you to a circle of big-heARTed donors who believe in sustaining the arts year-round. Plus, it’s effortless and adjustable at any time, making it a smart and generous choice.

"We are so fortunate to have a vibrant art community in Evergreen and Center for the Arts continues to be a focal point for artists to learn and display their creations. People visi Evergreen specifically for the art events and festivals thus providing financial support to area businesses and our local economy. I am excited that CAE is looking to expand their footprint to support our community further."
Nancy Judge, President/CEO Evergreen Chamber of Commerce
"Art is communication. It influences society by changing opinions, instilling values and translating experiences across space and time. It allows people from different cultures and different times to communicate with each other via images, sounds and stories. Our mountain community is also important to me. In many ways, the organizations I have had the opportunity to involved with in Evergreen, have shaped who I am. I donate to the Center for the Arts in honor of my mother and in the hope that art in Evergreen will build a stronger community by providing awareness and understanding of different cultures and different points of view."
Karen Lindsay, Art Enthusiast & Philanthropist
"The arts significantly enhance our lives. When added to the beauty of our mountain community we can see and feel so much more and in so many new ways."
Craig Ponzio, Art Collector & Community Leader
"We who live at Rocky Mountain Village are fortunate to be positioned close to the Center for the Arts Evergreen - an easy walk even for those of us using walkers - and several of our residents have enjoyed not only visiting the arts center to view the shows but also volunteering there and taking classes. Fear that the pandemic might bring about the closure of the arts center was cause for me to make the largest single donation I'd ever made to help ensure their survival."
Linda Kirkpatrick, Evergreen Resident
The mission of the Center for the Arts Evergreen is to enrich and serve our mountain community by promoting and cultivating the arts through quality educational programs, exhibitions, and events.
In 1974, a group of local art enthusiasts forged a plan to provide mountain area residents with an avenue to pursue high-quality art instruction and view a wide variety of art. Having leased a small building since 2003 under the new name of Center for the Arts Evergreen (CAE), in 2017, CAE purchased and renovated the historic Bergen Park Church. The new space allowed for an exhibition gallery and significant expansion of educational and community programming, including beginning- to advanced-level visual arts and crafts classes for all ages, creative writing courses, master workshops in various mediums, children’s summer camps, and our own teen arts council. Engaging professional artists in multiple aspects, CAE commits to a high level of artistic excellence, hosting at least 10 exhibitions annually. Additionally, CAE hosts an intimate gallery concert series, offers event and meeting space for rent to community businesses and nonprofits, and produces three free or low-cost arts festivals annually. A curated artisanal gift shop in the Center also provides exposure and revenue for local artists.
