Arts & Culture in Florence

Florence has long attracted artists drawn to its dramatic landscapes and affordable studio space. Today the town supports a thriving arts community — cooperative galleries, working ceramics studios, photography, and an annual Art Walk that brings the whole downtown alive every summer.

Annual Event

Florence Art Walk — Every July

The Florence Art Walk is one of the most anticipated events on the southern Colorado arts calendar. Galleries, studios, and shops open their doors for extended hours with live music, wine tastings, artist demonstrations, and new exhibition openings. Thousands of visitors make the trip each year to experience Florence's creative community in full swing.
