Arts and Culture
The Breckenridge arts and culture scene is the heartbeat to our town. Our mountain community is packed with artists who find passion in their surroundings – of course, it’s not hard to be inspired here.
Breckenridge Creative Arts (BreckCreate) was developed by the town to support and promote arts, culture, and creative experiences throughout Breckenridge. From quality performances, visual arts, workshops and classes, interactive festivals, historic tours and more, the Breckenridge Creative Arts is a transformative force with a full lineup of opportunities to tap into any day of the week.
Performing Arts & Installations
Breckenridge Arts District
Steeped in culture and heritage, the town of Breckenridge provides a unique mix of creative opportunities for people of all ages and interests. Generations of artists, makers, musicians and writers have chosen to live in or visit this beautiful Rocky Mountain destination, its inspiration reflected in their work. Through visual and performing arts, heritage and museum activities, craft education, culinary and healing arts, design, film and literature, the community offers a scenic mountain environment with diverse opportunities for individual self-expression and cultural exploration.
BreckCreate
The Breckenridge Arts District is the region’s epicenter of creativity, bringing together studios, galleries, performance spaces, historic landmarks, public art, restaurants, cafes and other creative businesses that animate and populate a vibrant cultural corridor in downtown Breckenridge. The district’s core attraction is a lively arts campus of renovated historic structures that now function as studio spaces for classes, workshops, affordable rentals by local artists and visiting artist-in-residence programs. The Breckenridge Arts District is a Certified District in the Colorado Creative Industries Creative District Program.
Breckenridge Music
Breckenridge Music provides year-round arts education to area schools, fosters collaboration and the creative work of today’s professional musicians. A core summer festival built upon a resident professional chamber orchestra and includes over 40 performances presented annually mid-July through mid-August. Other performances across genres range from national touring acts to regional up-and-coming talent presented throughout the year.
National Repertory Orchestra
