History

The ART ASSOCIATION OF BOULDER was organized in 1923 to create a center for the art interests of the community by maintaining an art gallery and lecture hall; to stimulate an appreciation and understanding of the arts; and to provide art education facilities for talented children through the summer months.
The BOULDER ARTISTS' GUILD was "organized in 1924 to assemble earnest workers in the creative arts, to advance and encourage the artistic expression of its members." There was an annual exhibition of members' work in May.
The BOULDER ART ASSOCIATION was organized in 1955.
