The Fremont Center for the Arts in Cañon City welcomes visitors to its eighth annual 'Art in Isolation: Creating Space' exhibition, running August 1 through August 29, 2025.

 

Showcasing powerful artworks created by inmates from Florence’s ADX Supermax, the event offers a rare glimpse into creativity behind bars.

 

Each piece reveals deep personal journeys as artists seek mental and emotional space despite incarceration.

 

Resilience and the power of artistic expression stand at the heart of the exhibition, with proceeds from artwork sales aiding inmate restitution.

 

Artists’ identities remain confidential due to prison security protocols.

 

The display aims to encourage reflection on self-expression and highlight the importance of creative programs in correctional settings.

 

On August 2, attendees can join 'Creating Space: Art, Healing, and Humanity Behind Bars,' a live presentation featuring the program’s dedicated organizers.

 

Admission is free, inviting the community to support incarcerated artists and their hope-filled journeys.

The skies above Fremont County stunned residents Tuesday evening as the northern lights painted dramatic shades of red and pink, unexpectedly gracing Colorado with a rare aurora borealis display.

 

At the Royal Gorge Dinosaur Experience along U.S. Highway 50, the vivid spectacle beautifully illuminated the museum’s life-sized dinosaur exhibits, creating a magical, otherworldly atmosphere for visitors and staff.

 

This beloved local attraction, open since 2016, has fascinated families with interactive exhibits and animatronic dinosaurs, but announced it will close permanently on December 31, 2025, due to ongoing business challenges.

 

Before its closure, the museum will host events like the November 15 “We Are All Made of Stars” gala, featuring live music, gourmet treats, and telescope stargazing.

 

Locals are invited to relish the museum’s final months, celebrating a unique intersection of science, history, and the region’s breathtaking natural wonders.
