Tapestry: Community Art, Music, and Collective Wellbeing

What happens when artists invite the community to help create the art?
Last year during Fort Collins' First Friday Art Walks, local artists handed over the brush.
What began as live painting demonstrations evolved into three collaborative paintings shaped by dozens of community members over the course of several months. Those shared canvases—and the conversations that formed around them—inspired Tapestry.
Join us for an evening of:
🎨 Local artists & community art
🎶 Live music
🐐 Therapy animals
🤝 Community organizations
🧵 A handmade tapestry by Henry Haynes
💙 Fundraising for the Alliance for Suicide Prevention of Larimer County
Presented by NOCO Creative Network, Tapestry is a celebration of creativity, connection, and collective wellbeing—and an opportunity to explore what becomes possible when artists and community members create together.
Participating artists retain 100% of their sales, while event fundraising activities will support the Alliance for Suicide Prevention of Larimer County and its work throughout our community.
FREE and open to the public.
Participating artists, organizations, and event updates will be announced here throughout the summer.
