Gallery Partnership with Wilderness Workshop

Our mission is to protect the wilderness, water, and wildlife of Western Colorado’s public lands.

Working hand-in-hand with our communityand using strategic advocacy, we protect public lands and waters fromthreats such as industrial development, climate change, and short-term exploitation, but perhaps more important is what we protect public lands for– intact ecosystems, free-roaming wildlife, thriving biodiversity, a livable planet for current and future generations, and the awe inspired by wild places.

We’re always working towards permanent, legislative protection of wild places – knowing that in today’s political climate, even the most community-driven and supported proposals, can take years or decades to become reality. This is why you’ll often find us advocating for agency actions or interim measures on the long path to permanent protections. As the first Executive Director of the Sierra Club, David Brower, said “All of our victories are temporary, and all of our defeats are permanent.”

The show is made possible by Anonymous Donors the TKC Foundation
and Season Sponsors Susan and Larry Marx.
This exhibition is made possible by sponsors and Anonymous Donors, and in part by a grant from the Thrift Shop of Aspen & Wheeler Opera House (City of Aspen Arts Grant Program).
