Culture in Canyon Country
The Fremont Center for the Arts provides a cultural counterpoint to the region's adventure tourism, showcasing the creative talent of Colorado artists in a welcoming gallery setting. The center occupies a historic building in downtown Canon City that has served the arts community for decades.
What to See
Rotating exhibitions feature work by local, regional, and occasionally national artists across various media—painting, sculpture, photography, fiber arts, and more. The center also hosts periodic events, opening receptions, and the popular First Friday Art Walks.
