ColorFest

The Chamber is pleased to announce the partnership of another nonprofit agency in our ColorFest activities, Sept. 20-22. This event will kick off the festivities a day early, occurring on Thursday, Sept. 19. The event is the Pagosa Springs Arts Council’s (PSAC) Mural Project Extravaganza.

Creative people around Pagosa (professional, amateur, students and just those interested) are designing 4-inch-by-4-inch tile squares. The artistic range is quite broad with painting, quilting, beading, woodworking, collage and other mediums making up the content of the mosaic board.

The event will be held at the PSAC building at 197 Navajo Trail Drive on the evening of Sept. 19. A ticket purchase secures you a mosaic tile with your ticket number corresponding with the randomly numbered tiles. There will also be delicious hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar. The evening will be filled with colorful artistic tile displays creating a mural.

Similar to the Color Run that weekend, you can’t get much more colorful than a grouping of a lot of art work all in one location and in one project. Now you can start your ColorFest weekend a day early. If you are visiting town, this is one more event to enhance your stay.

The Chamber will be selling tickets for the event soon. Artists have a slight respite in turning their tiles into the PSAC with the new due date being Aug. 23. You can also turn your tile into the Chamber with the appropriate paperwork describing your creation.

We now have three nonprofit collaborative events over the ColorFest weekend: the Mural Extravaganza, Breakfast with Balloons and the ColorRun/Walk. Enjoy these activities in addition to the Passport to Pagosa Wine and Food Festival on Sept. 20; the Bands and Brews Festival on Sept. 21, which includes the Adventure Raffle drawing; and the hot air balloon launches on Sept. 21 and 22. Don’t miss out on getting your tickets for any of these events. Visit www.pagosachamber.com for more ColorFest information.
