Welcome to the Center for the Arts

The Infamous Stringdusters take to the Center stage
Be sure to get your tickets for The Infamous Stringdusters, performing at the Center Wednesday, September 1 at 8:00 PM. This young group of musicians has been making huge strides in a short time in the bluegrass industry and is considered one of the best bluegrass bands on the circuit today. Some of you may remember their performance in the Ein/Lynch Barn a couple years ago during the CB Music Festival, and we hope you'll check out this performance at the Center. With exceptional talent, high energy, wicked picking and general, all-around great personalities, the band members bring it to the stage in a superb live show. Tickets are only $20 and on sale now!

John Bukaty’s "100 Paintings Ago" at the Piper
Crested Butte live artist John Bukaty (known simply as "Bukaty") will showcase many of 100 paintings he completed last fall while traveling through India. The 100 paintings and Bukaty’s challenges in painting these art pieces are the inspiration for the documentary film "100 Paintings Ago", produced and directed by J.R. Fleming. His work has previously been on display in the Center. Or perhaps you have seen him in action during some of our productions, like Los Lobos and Janiva Magness. Join us on September 9, 5 to 8 PM for an artists reception, with some background music provided by Les Choy. The work will be on display September 7 through November 30.
