Once a grassroots startup, today Center for the Arts Crested Butte is the cultural hub of the Gunnison Valley for live music concerts including blues, jazz, bluegrass, classical, folk, rock, country, funk and more. Our live outdoor concert series, Alpenglow, enlivens the community with free entertainment on Monday nights during the summer. Professional dance performances range from ballet to modern to burlesque. Traveling productions and local theater productions all find a place at the Center.The Center also hosts the Crested Butte Wine & Food Festival during July with wine seminars, elevated dining events and food pairings. Numerous world-class performers have performed at the Center including Ario Guthrie, Junior Brown, Los Lobos, Robert Earl Keen, and Lisa Marie Presley. Although some of our guests may have seen these performers in New York, San Francisco or Dallas, the intimate setting of the Center for the Arts provides a whole new perspective.
