Create Art and Tea may have closed its doors earlier this month, but the nonprofit Art Guild of Create Durango that was housed there is still going strong.
According to Create Art and Tea owner and guild founder Caprice Fox, the guild is now based in the Smiley Building, where itshares a space with the Butterfly Artist Collective, another local artist organization.
Create first opened in the Durango Arts Center in 2018 before relocating to 1015 Main Ave. a few years ago. It displayed the works of more than 20 local artists, from fiber artists to painters and potters. In order to help artists offset losses of revenue, Create held a silent auction before closing its doors that raised more than $4,000. However, Fox said the guild is still in need of donations to help keep it thriving.
“We have been building a support system and a safe, creative place for local artists since 2018. Many artists that started with Create Art and Tea … are now very successful on their own,” said Fox. “We have created a mini–community center that is quite extraordinary in how it meets the needs of many.”

There’s about to be another reason to pull off 1-70 in Idaho Springs other than Beau Jo’s pizza. Work began last week on a $58 million gondola that will haul people 1,300 feet up the mountain from the historic Argo Mill in town.

The moose is loose, and don’t mess with her. This week, Colorado Parks and Wildlife issued a warning about potentially aggressive cow moose as they protect their young during calving season. The warning was issued in the wake of three recent attacks, which occurred in Park, Grand and Routt counties. Folks are advised to be extra vigilant near water with thick vegetation, where moose often hide their young, and be forewarned: nothing pisses them off more than furry four-legged hiking companions.
