BRECKENRIDGE CREATIVE ARTS | BRECKCREATE

Through art, Breckenridge expresses itself as a town like no other, where the simple charms of our surroundings connect the most unlikely of neighbors: hunters to hippies, liberals to libertarians, beer drinkers to cosmic thinkers. Here, everyone has a voice they are encouraged to express. And the melody they create is anything but monotone.

BreckCreate drives home the importance of the arts in establishing Breckenridge’s identity. It motivates the sharing of fresh perspectives; it entices those from outside the local community to engage Breckenridge as a creative destination. It promises an evolving experience that reinvigorates the soul with every return visit.

BRECKENRIDGE ARTS DISTRICT The Breckenridge Arts District is the region’s newest epicenter of creativity, bringing together studios, galleries, performance spaces, historic landmarks, public art, restaurants, cafés, and other creative businesses that animate and populate a vibrant cultural corridor in downtown Breckenridge.

The Arts District’s core attraction is a new multi-facility arts campus that hosts workshops, exhibits, artists-in-residence, and a variety of other activities for locals and visitors alike. With a focus on educational and experiential enrichment, programs include classes in several media such as textiles, ceramics, metalwork, painting, and more. Complete with decorative plazas and sculpture gardens, the Arts District campus serves as a community gathering place and a catalyst for creative expression in Breckenridge.

Visit breckcreate.org for more information. 24-hour pre-registration required for workshops. All materials included unless otherwise noted.

Christian Tai Leach DILLON, CO

Colorado native, Christian Tai Leach, was inspired by his uncle Danny Valdes, an artist in Santa Fe, who suggested Tai paint one of his old snowboards.

Since that first snowboard painting in 2000, Tai has painted over 200 snowboards.

Today, Tai paints on snowboards, skateboards, and other recycled materials, giving them new life as art.

Though self-taught, Tai has developed a masterful use of color and the ability to create movement and energy in his work. His depictions of Colorado mountains, wildlife, urban cityscapes, and women exhibit his uniquely raw style. In his free time, Tai is passionate about snowboarding, four-wheeling, and skateboarding. He currently lives in Dillon, Colorado.
