Come to a multimedia, environmentally conscious art festival for the senses! Hosted by Alpine Arts Collective and supported by the City of Fort Collins, Fort Fund, this event is for all ages and interests.
Art Market + Live Music
The outdoor art market will feature 10 Colorado vendors and include environmentally-inspired artwork by local and regional artists. The art market will also have live music, 2 local environmental partners tabling at the event, and an activity for kids. Attendees can listen to music, explore the art market, grab a bite or beverage, and learn about environmental art.
Sensory-Friendly Hour
The first hour of the festival will be designated sensory-friendly for attendees who prefer a calmer, lower-stimulation experience. During this dedicated time, sound levels across the festival will be reduced, lights will be dimmed or softened, and interactive art installations will be adjusted to minimize sudden changes in sound, light, or movement. This hour is especially designed for individuals with sensory sensitivities, neurodivergent attendees, and anyone who benefits from a slower, more gentle pace.
Live Performance
Against the backdrop of the autumn sunset, festival attendees can enjoy a live performance that includes dance and spoken-word poetry. AAC will curate this performance to amplify diverse voices and include participation from the CSU School of Music, Theatre, and Dance to foster the next generation of environmental artists.
Film Festival
After sunset, the event will conclude with an hour-long film screening featuring a curation of short environmental art films. Artists will be selected from all over the country, bringing world-class environmental art right here to Fort Collins.
