You’ve seen those empty store fronts as you’ve wandered the streets of Old Town Fort Collins. They look like buildings that need some energy to make them happy again. That’s what Art Lab Fort Collins is all about. We’re temporarily filling those wonderful buildings with art, innovation, music, smiling faces until a new tenant comes along. When a new tenant decides to move in, we just move on to the next empty space.
Watch the empty store fronts for something new in Old Town.

The Fort Collins Improv group is for people who are interested in learning more about Improv – come join us! We get together to be spontaneous! Every level is welcome; we love to have fun and to laugh together. Everybody participates and everybody has fun – no one feels left out or embarrassed!
We go through a wide variety of games, scenarios, and skits to build up our expertise in spontaneous, improvisational thinking, acting, singing, talking, speaking, falling, laughing, and juggling geese.
Art Adventure Exhibition and Reception by Jaime Gastelle
This project is about creating art on a bicycle journey through the Rocky Mountains and sharing the experience. Jaime Gastelle is a local artist and accomplished her dream through Kickstarter, a project fundraising site. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/artadventure/art-adventure
Supporters pledged money to help her reach her goal of being able to travel by bike, and be able to stop and ‘plein air’ paint. In return all of the backers will receive artwork that was created on the journey. For more information check out http://www.jaimegastelle.com/#!project-2.
The art will be exhibited at the Art Lab of Fort Collins from Friday, August 16, through Saturday, August 31.
Join us for the reception on Saturday August 24, at 7:00pm for commentary from the artist and light refreshments.

IMPACT Dance Company presents Every Voice Matters
May 3 &4
IMPACT Dance Company presents the “Every Voice Matters” Exhibition during the Friday night gallery walk on May 3rd, 6-9pm, as well as May 4th, 5-8pm.
This year IMPACT Dance visited eight schools in Poudre School District. “Every Voice Matters” uses writing, visual art and movement to help students identify what is important to them and to give them a creative avenue to express their thoughts. Workshops are customized to fit into each school’s curriculum, drawing upon essays, poems and memoirs that students have written as a jumping off point for art and dance. Studentâs artwork from Harris Bilingual Immersion School, Bennett Elementary, Fort Collins High School, Polaris Expeditionary Learning School, PSD Options Program, Poudre High School and the ASPIRE program at Boltz Jr. High will be on display.
