In the CAC Fine Art Gallery
The annual holiday art exhibition features 70 visual arts members of the Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park in a variety of fine arts & crafts mediums, and spotlights some of the finest work in the nation. Our 1,800 sq. foot facility is fully "decked" for the season with multiple trees, lights, greenery and music. Ample street level parking is available at our front door.
Artists featured reside in Colorado, from across the United States, and abroad. Many are of national renown and their work includes 2 and 3-dimensional forms for home, personal adornment or gift giving. The annual exhibit is a way to say thank you to the visual arts members, many of whom volunteer in the gallery, help with major events, donate art for fundraising events, or contribute in other ways to the Arts Council each year.
Hundreds of works of art and miniatures in all price ranges are available including: paintings in oil, watercolor, mixed media and acrylic; pencil drawings; sculpture in bronze and wood, jewelry in precious metals, semi-precious stones, glass, and amber; photography in digital and traditional formats; fused glass; ceramics, fiber, hand-crafted furniture and mixed media. Smaller objects like ornaments, cards, and books are available. The exhibition is Tour stop #1 on the 15th Annual Holiday Art Walk. Exhibition Hours are 12 noon to 5 PM daily or by appointment. The exhibition is free and open to the public. A portion of all proceeds from the sale of art in the exhibition go back into visual and performing arts programs that benefit persons of all ages.
