The Spanish Peaks region in Southern Colorado is quickly becoming a hot spot for the state’s local art community.
New programs like FAROUT Murals and the latest designation efforts to make La Veta a Colorado Creative District has been created out of the need to pump some life into these small communities after the hardships of COVID and the Spring Creek Fire in 2018. So, while you make plans to explore the outdoor landscape of the Spanish Peaks region be sure to also include these artful stops along the way.
