Wild West Fest, Telluride
The Sheridan Arts Foundation invites you to be a part of one of the most meaningful and exciting festivals of the Telluride community, the annual Wild West Fest.
Since 1991, the Sheridan Arts Foundation has raised more than $40,000 each year to bring 40-50 underserved youth from Boys & Girls Clubs from around the country to Telluride for a week of nurturing, child-centered mentorship programs and fascinating cultural experiences as a part of the Chip Allen Mentorship Program (C.A.M.P). Here in Telluride, we enjoy many privileges, and Wild West Fest is a chance to share our community with kids who can really benefit from what it has to offer. This is our chance to open our town and our hearts to kids in need. The goal of the Sheridan Arts Foundation every year is to provide an esteem-building experience for each child that allows them to challenge themselves in a supportive and non-competitive environment.

Ouray International Film Festival, Ouray
Film festivals were founded with a specific purpose in mind: to support the success of film and filmmakers from beyond the mainstream. Some of the most beloved movies of all time got their start at film festivals. Without the infrastructure, support, and community of film festivals, these movies might never have become a part of our collective artistic culture. Our festival stands in this legacy of support. We bring in films from around the United States and across the globe to expose audiences to material they’re unlikely to see on streaming platforms or in theaters.
