Community Arts
Public Art Committee:
The Public Art committee's mission is to establish an ongoing program to produce, support and display works of art in places that are accessible to the public in a manner that will enhance the aesthetic value of the site and contribute to the quality of the cultural life in Steamboat Springs and the Yampa Valley. Special collaborative projects have been developed to establish public art programs at the Steamboat Ski Area and the Yampa Valley Medical Center.
The Friday Film Series takes place each fall and winter, with a series of free films (donations encouraged) presented at Centennial Hall (10th & Oak) at 7:00 pm on selected Friday evenings. The Friday Film Series is supported by several sponsors in addition to the Film Guild. Film Guild membership is available for a contribution of $150 and offers 2 reserved seats at each show.
