The Museum of Friends, recognized by Art in America as the first counterculture museum in the U.S., began upstairs in the historic Roof & Dick Building. Its Foundation Gallery, born from 600 works exchanged among friends, remains the heart of MoF, preserving the spirit of generosity, community, and creative experimentation.

The Museum of Friends in Walsenburg will host a stakeholder convening on July 17 with History Colorado and the America 250 – Colorado 150 Commission to help Southern Colorado communities align with statewide plans for Colorado’s 150th and America’s 250th anniversaries. Local leaders, artists, educators, and civic partners are invited to collaborate on creative projects that honor regional history and build future opportunities.

Celebrate art, culture, and connection this July 4 at the Museum of Friends with the opening of two new exhibitions: Beavers of the Huerfano 1970–2025 by Brendt Berger and Small Works 1966–2018 by Kenny Schneider. This free community event includes a drum circle, cultural performances, and a powerful showcase of two visionary artists.
