The 2024 Crested Butte Arts Festival will return to its traditional downtown venue on historic Elk Avenue in the heart of the Crested Butte Creative District! Crested Butte, renowned for its mountain charm and stunning panoramic landscape is also characterized by a large second home-owning population who are perennial art-buyers. We look forward to celebrating our 52nd annual event with artists and patrons alike, in restoring the CBAF to its native home on Elk Avenue!
