1) Telluride Transfer Warehouse
While I was there, I went to the Tiger Knuckle pop up art exhibit/installation in the warehouse. The Transfer Warehouse is a historic, roofless center for the Arts. It was built in 1906, the roof caved in during the 70’s, and Telluride Arts District (the local nonprofit arts council here) purchased the space and is raising money to transform the building into a 4-story community Arts center in the heart of Telluride. They’ve restored and stabilized the historic stone walls and plan to build a contemporary art space within the stone exterior. Currently they host concerts, performances, workshops, festival programming, and private events.
2) Voodoo Studios
Voodoo is the only artist co-working studio space in town. Prime real estate!! There are 9 artists in the space and it has a beautiful view of the mountains.
Brook Einbender’s Voodoo space is a painting studio and Virtual Reality lab. So fun to escape, paint, and create in virtual reality. @Mindbender.art www.brookeeinbender.com.

Fun fact there are 5 marijuana dispensaries in the little town of telluride. Delilah’s is the fanciest.

9) Bike ride on the Valley Floor, surrounded by herds of elk
10) The strong community of the Town of Telluride hired Brandon Berkel (local collage artist) to create Telluride-inspired Covid Art to keep locals and tourists safe. (Images included in album) Here’s the “Keep it Clean” by Brandon Berkel (Instagram: @BrandonBerkel)
