Durango Autumn Arts Festival

Celebrating 21 years of presenting fine art and fine craft by makers from around the country, this festival takes place amidst the fall colors on quaint Second Avenue in historic downtown Durango, Colorado, against the backdrop of the La Plata Mountains. The wide avenue, lined with restaurants and a variety of shops, is one block from Main Avenue, a gathering place for shoppers and the thousands of visitors that fill the town each fall. Organized by the Durango Arts Center, the region's premiere non-profit arts organization serving Durango and the Four Corners, the festival is a well-loved and attended community event attracting an educated and appreciative audience. Artists and Craftspeople report the show is well organized and offers great hospitality and friendly, steady crowds.
