February: Elements of Adventure

Elements of Adventure—it’s a thrilling exploration of nature and the human spirit’s desire to explore the elements. For this February exhibition, let your work be inspired by the beauty of snow-covered landscapes, the sense of freedom, or the raw energy of exploring. We want to see your interpretation of what makes up adventure in its purest form. Embrace the elements—wind, water, mountains, stars—and the stories they tell.
Celebrate Steamboat Springs’s adventurous spirit, which is annually highlighted through Winter Carnival. Show us what adventure looks like through your eyes and let your creativity soar as high as our mountain peaks. Multidisciplinary works including: sculpture, paintings, poetry, contemporary installations, video, photography, performance, and beyond, are encouraged.
