Ephemeral Collective

ephemeral is an arts collective and resource hub dedicated to building resilient, place-based creative communities across the Colorado Plateau. 

What we value:

- Imaginative, bottom-up storytelling through in-person gatherings and print media

- A media landscape that is honest, playful, locally-driven, and primarily offline

- Uplifting artists across all levels of experience

- Equitable access to creative resources and opportunity

What we do:

Most of all, we seek to capture the feeling of sitting around a campfire and hearing a really, really good story: maybe it’s a story about a piece of your friend that you’ve never heard; maybe it’s fiction; maybe it’s a song that you all sing together; maybe it’s a single sentence that sparks an idea within you. Storytelling is inevitable, unavoidable, and utterly necessary to build resilient, creative communities.  It is a crucial catalyst for social change.

Through our monthly newsletter, biannual print magazine, workshops, gatherings, financial opportunities, resource dissemination, and pop-up projects, we aim to support artists and foster rural connection.
