May 30 – July 6, 2024
Tuesday – Friday: 9 AM – 5 PM
Saturday: 10 AM – 4 PM
Sunday & Monday: Closed
3D: Beyond the Boundaries is a look at 3-D artwork from every angle. We have time-tested media like bronze and stone. We also have artists who are pushing the boundaries with installations, sculptural textiles, assemblage, and more. This exhibition features 31 artists with almost 50 pieces of work. 3D: Beyond the Boundaries will bring you joy, make you feel, and push you to think outside the box.
In conjunction with the exhibition in CAE’s main gallery, we are pleased to welcome our first mini-exhibition by one of CAE’s first resident studio artists, Tricia Rosenthal. Rosenthal’s exhibition, 3D to 2D: Evergreen Sculpture Portraits, presents a series of 15 original oil paintings that bring 15 beloved Evergreen sculptures to the canvas. Inspired by her time as president of Sculpture Evergreen, Tricia is the perfect artist to create portraits of the public art in Evergreen. Rosenthal’s mini-exhibition hangs in conjunction with 3D: Beyond the Boundaries in the newly rededicated Michael McGoldrick Executive Classroom.

CAE Creativity, Coffee, & Conversations for Seniors
2024-06-14 13:30, 2024-05-10 13:30
Join us for our monthly Creativity, Coffee & Conversation for mountain area seniors! Each month we offer the opportunity for artists, writers, and arts appreciators (aged 60 and better) to gather and find connection through art. The first portion of the afternoon is a tour with the curator, where you will learn about the current exhibit; stories behind pieces in the show, what it takes to find artists, and how an exhibition comes together. Then we enjoy coffee and cookies as we come together to create. We have multiple stations: one with an art project led by an artists or art teacher, one for writing, and one for simply chatting—the art of conversation. CCC is an opportunity to come together, make new friends, and learn something new. We are all at different stages of aging and we all handle it a little differently, but what we do know is that social interaction and community engagement keep us all a little healthier. This program typically takes place on the second Friday of every month, but all dates are listed below for reference. Please click the button below to RSVP – register for one or register for all!

Festival Task Force Project
2024-06-10 00:00
Last year ECD conducted on site interviews with participants and audiences at various area events. We also talked with a number of artists/vendors who participated in various arts festivals throughout the greater Denver/Foothills area.
Response indicated:

Early in the summer, attendance was greater than expected, that diminished as summer progressed and multiple events overlapped.
Visitors in this post Covid environment we’re excited to be able to once again get out and enjoy festivals.
There were a wealth of festival experiences every weekend for families to enjoy.
There were numerous overlapping/competing events in the greater Evergreen foothills area.
Attendance throughout the summer was very weather dependent.
Sales reports were sporadic.
There was a lack of collaborative/cooperative marketing and outreach between events.

Sometime in January/February ECD is looking to bring together organizers and sponsors of:
Summerfest, The Evergreen Fine Arts Festival, Evergreen Mountain Art Celebration, The Elk & Arts Fest, Chili Fest, Evergreen Rodeo Parade, Conifer Fest, Jazz Fest, Hops Drops, Open Door Studios Tour, AWAKE Festival, Summer Concerts, and others in the Evergreen area to explore ways of working together.
If you’re involved with these events please contact us.
ECD has been developing connections throughout the Colorado Arts/Cultural community that can help drive interest and attendance to local festivals. In 2024 we will be formulating an outreach/marketing plan to increase participation from area residents and attract new audiences from Denver and surrounding areas. There are several cross promotional projects and opportunities to explore.
ECD is creating a Festival Task Force to reach out and develop a contact list of festival organizers and sponsors to find a date where we can bring people together to discuss ways to support and promote our arts and cultural events.
Please share your thoughts, contacts, and interest in being part of this Task Force. Share this email with others that you think would benefit from being involved.
Thanks,
Ron

ECD – Follow the development of ECD
2024-06-01 00:00
The Evergreen Creative District (ECD) thanks you for helping support and promote all the
Arts/Cultural programs and events Evergreen’s Creative Industry brings to our community.
With your aid we have created an organization that will preserve those experiences for the enjoyment
of generations to come. Visit www.evergreencreativedistrict.org
Following Colorado Creative Industries “Call Yourself Creative” guidelines toward state
certification, we have accomplished a lot this past year:
• ECD has transitioned from an interim Board to a 501 C3 non-profit with an operational Board
representing a cross section of leaders from the arts, cultural and business community.
• We researched and published in the Jeffco Historical Journal, a 150-year History of the Arts in
Evergreen which in turn supports our branding Evergreen as a “Haven for Creatives” through
local, regional, and state media as part of ECD’s tourism outreach efforts.
• We commissioned a local artist to design and create our amazing Forever Stamp Logo that
drives our messaging, “Creativity Lives Here”
• ECD has been recognized by the leadership of the 30 other Certified Creative Districts in
Colorado and have been invited to be actively involved in efforts to further promote
Evergreen’s creative industry throughout the state.
• Our ECD website and Creative Calendar was launched this fall and continues to develop as
we modify its format and content based on feedback from the creative community.
• Major articles published in Mountain Connection and Serenity Magazines announced and
spread our message to area residents and businesses.
• Public, Private and Governmental entities throughout Colorado now support the fact that our
areas largest industry is the Evergreen Creative Industry.
• We have been recognized and applauded for our efforts by the leadership of Colorado
Creative Industries (CCI), Colorado Business Committee for the Arts (CBCA), Jeffco County
Commissioners, State and Federal legislators, the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce and
other local business leaders.
• We have brought together the leadership of Evergreens Arts organizations, area Performing
Arts organizations, and established a Live Music Task Force to develop collaborative
programing and work together to help sustain and promote events and other projects.
• Responding to requests from neighboring communities, ECD expanded its reach as a Cultural
Hub, bringing together arts/cultural entities and creatives in the greater Evergreen area.
• ECD is working with various Evergreen area nonprofits to help them qualify for regional, state,
and federal grants that they would otherwise not qualify for.
• We have begun working with Jeffco planning and zoning to impact future developments that
support workforce housing and other initiatives that support our creative industry.
• The ECD board has developed a long-range strategic plan that will help ensure that the quality
of life we enjoy and have come to expect in the greater Evergreen Area continues for future
generations.
What’s ahead as we move into 2024:
• ECD continues along the path towards CCI’s Creative District State Certification, sustaining
the successful accomplishments of 2023, and building upon them.
• Major articles promoting the Evergreen Creative District are scheduled to appear in leading
Lifestyle publications.
• An ECD Grantsmanship Task Force has planned a workshop on January 29th to help area
nonprofits craft their grant applications. (contact us to learn more)
• The ECD Live Music Task Force is planning a series of workshops designed to bring together,
support and promote live music in the greater Evergreen area. (contact us to learn more)
• The ECD Performing Arts Task Force is sponsoring and helping to develop grant applications
for funds needed to make significant/necessary repairs and renovations to Ovation West
Center Stage Theater.
