The 2024 Fort Collins Studio Tour included 60 local artists who collectively recorded a total of 3,474 visitors and netted $45,855 in sales. Our numbers were modest but it was a fun and enjoyable experience.
During the first 2 weeks of January, 17 current and former employees of the Thompson School District will be exhibiting their work in the ‘Practice What You Teach’ Art Show at the Carnegie Center for Creativity in Fort Collins. These Artist/Teachers are not only successful at opening the eyes of area students to the meaning and importance of visual art, they are all competent artists themselves. With a wide range of media and styles (ceramics, photography, paintings, drawings, printmaking, and mixed media) there is truly something for everyone.
The Carnegie Center is located at 200 Mathews Street and is open from noon until 6:00. Wednesday through Saturday.Admission is always free and a reception will be held Friday evening, January 4 from 6:00PM until 9:00 PM in conjunction with the Fort Collins, First Friday Gallery Walk.
