The Cultural Vibrancy Fellowship is a program that supports local artists financially while creating opportunities to connect with peers. This experience inspires artists to explore different disciplines and exchange ideas and feedback with one another. As Josefina shared, she built meaningful connections with fellow artists throughout her journey, and many fellows have stories to share.
This Thursday, May 14 at the Wheeler Opera House, join us for a special celebration where participants will share their experiences with the community. Presented by the Wheeler Opera House, Red Brick Center for the Arts, and the City of Aspen, the event will take place from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM.
This is a free community event! Reserve your tickets on the Wheeler Opera House website or click the link in our bio.
