Magic Of Masks Community Challenge Art Center Of Estes Park

On Friday, February 18, the Art Center was honored to unveiled 63 masks made by community members aged 5 to 75+. It was a wonderful afternoon! Many people came to view the ornate, colorful, creative, clever, inspiring, frightening, and cute “Second Faces.” We had 17 masks made by students aged 5-11 and another six masks were made by students aged 16 to 18. The other 46 masks were made by adults of all ages.

All the masks whether made by a student or adult came with a story and fascinated us all with their “creative illusions.”

Your need to come and see for yourself the amazing mask art that was created. The Art Center is open Friday-Monday from 11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. All the masks are for sale. The Art Center plans to make this annual event. We have heard that artists are already planning new masks for next year.
