Celebrating 29 Glorious Years

For almost three decades, the Durango Autumn Arts Festival has been the focal point of art and craft presentations by renowned makers nationwide. Set amidst the mesmerizing fall colors on the charming Second Avenue in historic downtown Durango, this festival is more than an event—it’s an experience. Organized as a flagship benefit event by the Durango Arts Center, the region’s leading non-profit arts entity, this festival has earned its stripes as one of the top-ranked festivals nationwide. With an estimated footfall of 7,000 to 8,000 eager visitors, artists often laud its impeccable organization, unmatched hospitality, and enthusiastic crowds. As one 2022 exhibitor said, “By far the best show I have ever done. I have committed to making this show a part of my lineup every year.”
