we are your local arts council.

Telluride Arts is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was established on November 17, 1971 as the Telluride Council of the Arts and Humanities, and known as TCAH. The organization was the first non-profit in the region, and served to incubate a culture of the arts that has come to define Telluride.

Over the years our mission has remained virtually unchanged, and our holistic ethos steadfast. Our unique concern is to elevate and promote a culture of the arts in the Telluride Arts District, comprised by numerous institutions, activities, and events that engage extraordinary artists from around the region and across the globe.

In 2012 we engaged the community at large in the development of the Telluride Cultural Master Plan that provides the roadmap for our work.

Since that time Telluride Arts established the Telluride Arts District and became one of the first Certified Creative Districts in the state, activated the Arts District brand, increased programs for artists, opened a new gallery and office space, produced the Arts Bazaar, Art Walk, Twenty(by)Telluride and Art + Architecture Weekend, established a new studio space for visual artists, strengthened partnerships with the Town of Telluride, National Endowment for the Arts, Colorado Creative Industries and the State Historic Trust, led planning and implementation for Wayfinding and Space for the Arts and positioned the organization as a leader in our community. Our most exciting current project is the restoration of the Telluride Transfer Warehouse which will become a center for the arts at the heart of Telluride.
