The 36th annual Summer of Art Tour returns to Beaver Creek this August.

Organizers of the 36th Annual Summer of Art Tour in Beaver Creek this August recently issued the following press release:

COLORADO (May 10, 2024) – Jaw-dropping art from across the state and nation are coming to Colorado’s top destination markets this summer. Howard Alan Events (HAE), producer of the nation’s largest juried, outdoor art festivals, brings its popular showcases back to Colorado during the 36^th Annual Colorado Summer of Art Tour. This year’s free, outdoor events take place in downtown Aspen, Keystone River Run Village and Beaver Creek.

The tour launches with the 21^st Annual Downtown Aspen Fine Art Festival on July 19 – 20. Local and visiting fine artists will fill the streets next at the 8th Annual Keystone River Run Village Art Festival on July 26 and 27. The Summer of Art series concludes with the longest-running showcase during the 36^th Annual Beaver Creek Fine Art Festival on August 2 – 3.

The highly selective exhibitions showcase a wide variety of fine art, including paintings, sculptures, photography, ceramics, glass, wood, metal, leather, handmade jewelry, collage and mixed media. What sets these art shows apart from the rest is that admission is always free and the artists are present during the whole weekend to answer questions, take custom orders and explain the stories behind their works. Different local and visiting artists in each show provide patrons the opportunity to “follow the tour,” enabling them to find new talent and artistic inspiration at each event.
