Durango Arts Center

Durango Arts Center is a community facility that aims to promote performing and visual arts to its constituents. It works closely with schools to pass down its members' love for artistic discipline. Due to its proactive stance in helping arts thrive in Durango, it regularly holds workshops in printmaking, sculpting, ceramic molding, and painting. It also uses its space as fairground to the annual Autumn Art Festival that attracts thousands of visitors from all over Colorado.

To further their knowledge about art, visitors can drop by Sorrel Sky Gallery. This facility showcases fine arts, priceless pieces of jewelry, and stunning prints that have a contemporary flair.  Another popular educational facility in the area is the Durango Discovery Museum, which offers a number of interactive displays on science and technology. This tourist spot used to serve as a coal and steam plant, which adds to its allure as an innovative center. There is also another museum at Fort Lewis College called the Southern Ute Cultural Center and Museum, which focuses on exhibiting indigenous artifacts and presenting cultural symbolisms to create awareness about the Ute Tribe. Bayfield, Colorado is a nearby town that offers quaint shops to complement the visitor’s art tour. For accommodation needs in the area, tourists can book a room at Wyndham Durango. The road towards this hotel is laden with breathtaking mountain views, adding to its charm. For a more centrally located and budget-friendly lodging, visitors can make an arrangement with the hospitable staff of Durango Downtown Inn, which is just a block away from the Main Street of Historic Durango Downtown.
