Harvest of Heritage, Colorado Masterpieces: Celebrating Agricultural Life and Art is a touring exhibit honoring over two dozen of Colorado's master traditional artists. Art work on view includes wheat art, leather and rawhide braiding, horsehair work, Mexican fabric art, and a special saddle made as a collaborative project by members of the Colorado Saddle Makers Association. An interpretive display features photographs and information about those and many other art forms including stained glass work, quilt making, painting and weaving. All of the artists have links to Colorado's rich agricultural heritage and their stories bring the state's history and geography to life.
