Colorado Art Ranch
 

Artposia

Colorado Art Ranch sponsors a two-day Artposium open to the public during each residency. Speakers are artists who think like scientists, and scientists who think like artists. Their topics are interdisciplinary, drawing from local history, landscapes, and issues.

Attendees from Colorado and beyond are able to meet the speakers and Colorado Art Ranch residents and gain appreciation for the small towns that host the Artposia. The entrance fee covers main stage events, workshops and some meals.

Artposium Goals
• Stimulate discussion about how the arts intersect with life and the land
• Showcase the Colorado towns that host the Artposia and residencies
• Provide a platform for collaboration among the Colorado Art Ranch residents

“I enjoyed the combination of art and writing, and the relaxed, unpretentious
attitude among the participants.”

 

“It was downright fun.”

 

“It wasn't full-of-itself serious---
there was humor and light-heartedness.”
