Designed as a reflection of the community’s distinctive culture and geography, visitors and community members alike are meant to feel at home in the space. The faceted main roof recalls the gabled roofs of the historic town buildings and the angular silhouette of near-by Mt. Crested Butte. The multipurpose, double-height lobby under the central roof combines massive wood structural members, textured copper, and rich fabrics within floor-to-ceiling glass walls to create a warm interior environment. As the Center’s hub, the lobby connects users to the 300-seat theatre, art gallery, dance spaces, and art studios.

Original Fundraising Video

In 1985 a determined group of Crested Butte residents converted a county maintenance garage into a community arts center. Today, that same building has been pushed beyond its capacity to try to fulfill the changing cultural needs of the community. In collaboration with the architectural firm Holzman Moss Bottino, and Visualization done by Illustrate My Design, this video show the future expansion of the center. It will include art studios, rehearsal rooms, a 330 flexible seat theater, and more.

This animation clip features the 330 flexible seat theater, which accommodates a wide variety of performances including theater style seating, rock concert with dance pit, dinner and a show, even aerial dancing performances.
