With new Board members, new energy is leading to exciting possibilities of new and expanded programming including winter concerts, artist receptions, writing a Grand Lake melodrama, a chautauqua, and increased scholarships for the arts. Your support will help us implement these community building programs.
The Grand Arts Gazebo series is a crowd favorite for sure! Nothing greater than spreading out a picnic on the lawn and listening to your favorite local artists!
For me as an entertainer, it is a great venue, because it switches it up from a loud bar like scene to a more family oriented intimate setting. Personally it is a gig I look forward to every year!!! Peggy Mann
The Grand Arts Council has been sponsoring the Grand Lake Holiday Fair for the past 20 years. I have been a participant during this time, as well as when the fair first started 30 years ago! My mother and I began making homemade jam for this fair. When she turned 80 years old, she handed down her duties to my daughter. We have lived in Grand Lake for 34 years and this Holiday Fair is a long tradition to our locals, as well as visitors. It encourages people to shop locally and to support local craftsmen. People return EVERY year to see what's new, as well as coming to see the "regulars"!
I became a member of our local PEO organization 15 years ago. Their primary function of PEO is to support local women by awarding scholarships and low cost loans to women needing to further their education. We started our fundraising efforts by making soup and bread mixes to sell at crafts fairs. With the money we fundraise, we have awarded well over $30,000 in scholarships! The Grand Lake Holiday Fair, sponsored by the Grand Arts Council, is extremely valuable to our PEO chapter to continue with this wonderful tradition.
Please consider the Grand Arts Council for Colorado Gives Day so that they will continue with their incredible work in our community. Thank you,

The Grand Lake Arts Council has been serving the Town of Grand Lake and our extended Grand County community for many years. Its commitment to providing quality entertainment through free concerts in the park in the summer is well recognized, Its further commitment to support other avenues of artistic and creative expression complements efforts to make Grand Lake a notable stopping place for patrons of the arts. The Grand Lake Rotary is grateful for the Grand Lake Arts Council's steadfast and enduring endeavors. Jim White, President, Grand Lake Rotary
Our mission is to provide the people of Grand County with opportunities to experience live theater, music and visual arts in keeping with the culture of the area and to provide local artists with a vehicle of expression and support as well as audiences.
The Grand Lake Area Arts Council was formed in1990 to promote local arts and bring arts events to the Grand Lake area. The Council sponsored winter concerts, a week long holiday Melodrama and the Olde Fashioned Christmas Bazaar. In 2003 we changed our name to Grand Arts Council.
Now the Arts Council has embarked with renewed energy to restore and expand its programs. Summer Concerts, a winter Comedy Show, scholarships for local high school graduates studying in arts related fields, Tombstone Tales (honoring those citizens who have made Grand Lake the community that it is), and the Olde-Fashioned Holiday Craft Bazaar are current offerings. With increased funding and energy, we have added winter and spring concerts, and a kick-off to summer Comedy Show.
