Special Transdisciplinary Collaboration in Lake City, Colorado

Summer, 2011
Deadline for proposals is October 15, 2010

Colorado Art Ranch is hosting a unique, transdisciplinary residency using the arts to envision uses for the Ute Ule Mine, an inactive silver mine in Lake City. We encourage professionals from the arts, sciences, and humanities to apply. A diverse group of five to seven applicants will be chosen to form the Collaboration Team.

The residency will end with an Artposium in which the participants’ vision will be presented to a larger community. We hope for this to become a model for the arts as a catalyst for change.

Salida

Located in central Colorado in the Upper Arkansas River Valley, Salida embodies the Colorado lifestyle experience. It is an outdoors paradise with year-round activities that include an almost complete A-to-Z adventure list: archery, biking, camping, climbing, fishing, four-wheeling, golfing, hiking, hunting, kayaking, picnicking, rockhounding, skateboarding, skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and a world-class zipline tour.

Salida is also a place to find balance—you can relax and reflect in one of the area's hot springs after an invigorating hike up one of the dozen fourteen-thousand-foot tall mountain peaks or stroll along tree-lined streets into the several block downtown area where century-old redbrick buildings offer café fare to fine dining, whimsical art pieces to upscale aesthetics…roam along the winding Arkansas River, pound the paths of the area's extensive bike & trail system, or meander through the museum and soak up the culture. For those who yearn for remnants of yesteryears, a short drive out of town takes you to ghost towns, mining camps, and reminders of Salida's railroad transport past.

 

Hayden

Hayden and Steamboat Springs are located in the beautiful Routt County. The area support a grreat array of ranching, hunting, skiing, kayaking/floating, fishing, hiking and bird-watching. Carpenter Ranch is on the Yampa river and has a unique and increasingly rare narrow-leaf cottonwood forest. The lland has been preserved for environmental and historical reasons.

Lake City

Lake City is located in Hinsdale county, the least populated county in the lower 48 states. The area is known for it's excellent fly fishing, 14,000 foot peaks, and a scenic byway that goes up over engineer pass to Ouray (FWD only). Most of the land in Hinsdale county is public and affords some great recreation and un-paralleled beauty.
