The mission of the Blue Sage Center for the Arts is to provide education and expression in the arts and humanities in order to engage and enrich the North Fork community.

Engaging Community. The Blue Sage sponsors classes, lectures, concerts, literary performances, and art exhibits focused on creating opportunities for people to celebrate and engage with one another.

Showcasing Artists. The Blue Sage Gallery provides local visual artists a professional space to exhibit their work in the center of downtown Paonia.

Sharing Space. Blue Sage facilities are made available for all kinds of public and private events such as dances, birthday parties, baby showers and weddings.

Publishing Authors. The popular annual writer’s anthology, Write On!, which is published by the Blue Sage, is a unique opportunity for Delta County writers and poets to showcase their talent to the community.

Supporting Musicians. The Blue Sage’s annual series of classical music concerts is one part of a larger music program dedicated to bringing high-quality events to the community as well as to providing exposure and support for local musicians.

Honoring History.  The Blue Sage registered its buildings with the Colorado Historical Society and is committed to working with the Paonia Historical Society to preserve and honor our community’s heritage.
