In 1989 a small group of artists got together to form what would become the Mountain Artists. Over the years, as more artists joined the group, we became a non-profit organization with the goals to share our passion of the visual arts with the greater community of Teller County and the entire Ute Pass area. Through our goals, events and educational activities we are supporting artists of all ages and are providing opportunities for students pursuing a career in art.
“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” – Pablo Picasso
