Please join us for a lovely meetup downtown: This year is the 30th Autumn Arts Festial, organized by and for the Durango Arts Center. Many artisans from around the country gather to sell their fine arts and crafts.

NAV members will meet in front of Artesano's at 11 am and wander the festival together. Afterwards, the group will head to La Hacienda on North Main for lunch.

Expect to explore the artistic offerings from 11-12:30 and then meet for lunch around 12:45.

*Feel free to attend the festival without lunch, or lunch without the festival!

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL:

Celebrating 30 years of presenting fine art and fine craft by makers from around the country, this festival takes place amidst the fall colors on quaint Second Avenue in historic downtown Durango, Colorado.

Organized as a benefit event by and for the Durango Arts Center, the region’s premiere non-profit arts organization serving Durango and the Four Corners, the festival is ranked one of the top festivals in the country welcoming an estimated 7,000 to 8,000 visitors.  Artists and craftspeople report the show is well organized and offers great hospitality and friendly, steady crowds.

Festival patrons are encouraged to enjoy food from the many delicious restaurants downtown and throughout Durango (see our list of sponsors below for some ideas).
