This summer, join the artists of Shadow Mountain Gallery as they celebrate 25 years of creativity and community
Founded in June of 1990 in a rustic Conifer farmhouse, the nonprofit Shadow Mountain Center for the Arts and Humanities provided the mission and momentum for such beloved local institutions as Arts Alive and the StageDoor Theatre. The gallery it founded to support its many programs eventually found a permanent home on Evergreen's historic Main Street, and it's been in perfect step with the Evergreen Gallery Association's inspired and inspiring Last Friday Gallery Walk right from the beginning. Today, Shadow Mountain Gallery remains the mountain area's first and only artist-owned gallery, and the only one offering local elementary school children a loving measure of public encouragement during Youth Arts Month each spring.
In recognition of that unique and enduring legacy, the 30 artists of Shadow Mountain have fashioned a warm and wonderful season of events starting with a tasteful and tasty cake-cutting ceremony and live oil-painting demonstration on Friday, May 29. Music is on the gallery's Last Friday menu all summer long, from Melanie Di Minno & Friends on June 26, to the exquisite new-folk melodies of singer/songwriter Katie Rae Graham on the last Friday in July, to the Robinson brothers' spellbinding cello serenades on Aug. 28. Other anniversary attractions will include sidewalk sales, silent auctions, and the finest works of some of the Front Range's finest artists.
Our mission is to grow the local economy by building business and relationships, promoting the community and representing local concerns with our county government.
