EDWARDS, Colorado — Alpine Arts Center is celebrating its one-year anniversary this month by inviting the community to participate in free activities at Alpine Arts Center all week long. Projects will include collaborative canvas paintings and paint-your-own-pottery tiles that are appropriate for all ages, child through adult. Participants will not only enjoy a creative art project for free, but they will also receive a 15 percent off coupon good for spring session classes.

“Our goal is to thank new and returning customers for making our first year in business a success, and also to give everyone a chance to get involved creatively at Alpine Arts Center,” says Lauren Merrill, owner of Alpine Arts Center. “You don't have to consider yourself a talented artist to have fun creating art, and we encourage everyone to invite friends and family to join in for a social and enjoyable afternoon or evening.” Alpine Arts Center will be open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. for drop-ins.

Alpine Arts Center also invites the public to a joint gallery reception and anniversary celebration on March 18 starting at 5 p.m. where the collaborative pieces will be unveiled and the current gallery exhibit “Mindful Artistry” by Wendy Satsky will be on display.
