Paragon Gallery - Giving Back

KIDS CARDS: the kids of Crested Butte Community School get to create original greeting cards (the cards and envelopes are provided by the Paragon Gallery). The cards are sold at the Paragon and ALL proceeds of the cards go back to the CB Community School! We raise funds for the art program there and purchase equipment, such as digital cameras or other needed items in the art department.

PEOPLE'S FAIR: every year since 1989, the Paragon has been host to the People's Fair over Labor Day weekend. The fair is open to all vendors (on a 1st come-1st serve basis), and remains a very inexpensive fair. There is live music every year! The gallery pays for the music, advertising, clean up and general hosting of the event.

GUEST ARTISTS: each month, the Paragon Gallery hosts 2 local artists to be our guests in the gallery. Each artist (one wall artist, one floor artist) has a space centrally located to show their work. We host a night featuring the artists during the ArtWalk (last Thursday of the month) with wine and appetizers. It is ag reat way for new and emerging artists to test the waters of gallery life!
