Meet us at the Historic GJ Union Depot for a one-of-a-kind First Friday art show!
Westbound: Art by Train is a collaborative exhibition designed to connect regional artists across the state through a shared, place-based creative journey!
Beginning in eastern Colorado, artists will board the historic California-Zephyr train line as it heads west towards Grand Junction.
One regional artist will board the train at each stop in Colorado (Fort Morgan, Denver, Fraser/Winter Park, Granby, Glenwood Springs, Grand Junction), creating artwork during the journey and connecting with fellow creatives along the way.
The trip culminates in a pop-up art exhibition at the historic depot, featuring work created in motion throughout the train ride.
Save the date!
5 p.m. – 9 p.m., First Friday, October 3
