About this event
Exhibition | January 7 – February 5 Space Cowboy is landing in Crested Butte for a month of art, poetry, storytelling, and community programming as part of its four-year journey through Colorado’s Creative Districts. Created by Colorado artists Emilie Odeile and Ken Chapin of Dundee & Lee, the exhibition centers on a 10-foot-tall fiber rocket topped with a cowboy hat and Mission Control consoles that gather images, voices, stories, and discoveries as Space Cowboy travels from community to community. Throughout January, the exhibition comes alive with special events and programming, including appearances by Colorado Poet Laureate Crisosto Apache, community conversations, and opportunities for Crested Butte residents to become part of the continuing Space Cowboy story. Space Cowboy travels with a simple idea: Colorado is the teacher and Space Cowboy is the learner. Every community adds something new to the mission. Come see the rocket, meet the people behind the project, take part in the January programming, and help Crested Butte add its chapter to Space Cowboy’s journey across Colorado.
