Three Programs to Bring Performance Arts to Valley Communities

In addition to producing the annual Crestone Music Festival, Crestone Performances produces a Youth & Community Performances program and a community service program. Together, these three programs:

• Enhance multicultural and arts education in San Luis Valley schools through music, drama, arts, and other performances and interactive experiences.
• Forge connections among local performance artists and our communities.
• Provide event planning and technical assistance to community arts endeavors.
• Stimulate local economy by creating tourism and events that provide vending and fundraising opportunities.
• Enhance family life through meaningful arts experiences, and more.
