ARTISAN GIFT MARKET & HOLIDAY FESTIVAL
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14TH FROM 10 AM TO 4 PM

Center for the Arts Evergreen’s annual Winterfest artisan gift market and holiday festival is a FREE community event for all ages! Held at the Center with both indoor tables and outdoor tents, Winterfest is a celebration of our local artisanal talent and an opportunity to support Colorado artists and small businesses this holiday season. And there’s so much more to Winterfest than shopping! We’ll have the big man in red himself visiting with children, a kid’s (and kids at heart) holiday craft station and face painting booth, food trucks and a hot cocoa bar, and live holiday music throughout the day. You’ll also have the opportunity to view – and purchase from – our annual CAE member exhibition. We’ll even have complimentary gift wrapping to send you on your way with your treasures ready for their place under the tree!
The event is rain or shine – this mountain community is a hearty bunch, after all – with the exception of weather that poses a significant danger to our vendors and guests. Come celebrate with us and kick off the giving season with handcrafted items to suit every budget and taste!

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!

ECD Members Celbration
2024-10-19 17:00 - 20:00 | CO
On Saturday, October 19th we invite you to celebrate Evergreen’s creative spirit and celebrate all of you, who have joined ECD. Thank you for helping us build and develop into an organization that reflects Jefferson County Creatives. Thank you for advocating and bringing us closer toward state certification.
To show appreciation for your support, two of our founding board members and current Advisory Board members Peggy and Peter Eggers are hosting a party at their mountainside home overlooking Evergreen Lake. This will give us all the opportunity to meet, share our stories and get to know each other.
We want to learn more about who you are, what you do and your hopes and desires. Our creative community is taking the next steps toward meeting the requirements set forth by Colorado Creative Industries. ECD is looking to join with Colorado’s 30 existing certified Creative Districts. ECD’s goal is to develop opportunities, like this one, to support Creatives and sustain our arts and cultural heritage for future generations.
ECD offers an amplified voice to all those who work in or support the Creative Industries, because the Colorado State Office of Economic Development and International Trade is listening and our State Representatives recognize our 150 year history as an arts enclave.
Please join us on October 19th from 5:00 to 8:00, and please invite Creatives that you would encourage to become a part ECD. Being a Certified Creative District would spotlight the foothills and arts related businesses. Every voice, every struggling artist and successful business has a chance to say we are here and making things happen. Let’s all get in one room and listen to one another, listen to some music, and get to know what we want as a community.
RSVP (info@evergreencreativedistrict.org) and we’ll send you the address and more info about our goals for the rest of 2024 and beyond. =
Creativity Lives Here!

Rocky Mountain Literary Festival
2024-10-12 08:30 - 15:30 | Mount Vernon Canyon Club, Club House Circle, Golden, CO, 80401, United States
The Rocky Mountain Literary Festival is an annual gathering of authors, readers, and books to celebrate the importance of literature in our culture and education.
A passion for reading, the love of literature, and a sense of community inspired a group of mountain-area residents to launch this endeavor in 2015. Evergreen has long supported artists in many different categories such as fine art, music, and theatre; the founding of this event, added the art of the written word to that auspicious list.
In addition to celebrating the art of literature in our community, the Festival supports the mission of Bootstraps, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which has been providing scholarships and interest-free loans for continuing education to mountain-area students with financial need since 1945.
Since the inception of the Rocky Mountain Literary Festival, proceeds from the event have funded close to $50,000 in scholarships. When you support the Festival, you support the love of literature and the future of the mountain community.
Tickets go on sale in June 2024.
