Art of the Garage Tour

Thank you everyone for your overwhelming response to our 1st Art of the Garage event. We had over 400 people participate!

Look here for updates on Art of the Garage in Fall 2019.

Your all-access pass behind the doors of Fort Collins’ most creative spaces.

Fine art. Music. Invention. Often the most inspiring, innovative work is done in garages. And some of the finest visual, musical and automotive treasures live in our own backyard — in garages throughout Fort Collins. Join the Museum of Art | Fort Collins for a one-of-a-kind, one-day peek into some of the most creative spaces in town. Classic cars. Luxury cars. Sculpture. Printmaking. Painting. Rock and roll. Restoration. And relaxation.
