Many people associate Steamboat Springs as a western mountain town that is home to the Steamboat Ski Area with beautiful champagne snow powder in the winter, and lush green mountains in the summer. However, not everyone realizes that nestled among the mountains are the art galleries that make Steamboat Springs vast with culture.
Enjoy the many art galleries in downtown featuring all elements of the arts. Most galleries offer guided and self-guided tours. The galleries and museums never make you feel pressured to 'have' to buy a piece of art. Sometimes viewing the art fulfills the mindful and artistic senses.
If you happen to visit the first Friday of the month, Steamboat Springs host a First Friday Art Walk twelve months a year in the downtown and old town district. From 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. you can take a stroll downtown where the art galleries and restaurants featuring local artists open their doors for a lively experience. The best part is it is FREE to experience and you will likely fill up on small bites alongside delicious pours of wine or beer.
Bring your family or friends and enjoy the creativity and eclectic elements of the arts. This is a fun event that locals and visitors look forward to every first Friday. Many locations offer changing exhibits, so there is something new to see each month.
