sangre de cristo arts & conference center

Nice place. Great views from all seats. I loved it. They should add more acts and shows. I would go more often. check them out.

What a wonderful surprise! The art gallery, children's museum and performance center are top notch. I wondered where all the supporters and collectors were in Pueblo, but this center is a testament to the power of art! Well done, Pueblo!!

They give you a wow sticker when you pay to go into the lobby masquerading as a museum. This symbolizes wow we payed for this? I could recreate this lobby with some paper, water colors, and items from my recycling. The computers with apps that i have on my phone was a real hit with my kids! Ok it wasnt but that was the highlight. I did try to build something only to find this activity has rules posted obsecurely behind the actvity and that it took 4 people and a supervisor. Im 32 and daily play with million dollar pieces of equipment but lord knows i need supervision. The teenage supervising nazi continued to follow me around after I declined her expert supervision which made it even more awkward. We left the spacious 400sq ft upstairs for the lobby dowstairs where we found a beautiful piece of malfunctioning corporate art. We spent half an hour for 20$ and 30 min drive. On the upside wendys just up the street was amazing and far exceeded the museum in customer service and has made my children addicts for frostys. Also the museum probally got my daughter sick.

People may think that Pueblo does not have much to offer, but a closer look reveals this beautiful museum that is truly an eclectic art venue. Featuring a wide array of fine art, crafts, classes for the community in all areas, a huge conference facility, wonderful theater, and a children's museum, this is definitely a place not to be missed. The Sangre de Cristo Arts and Conference Center is an award winning arena with art by local and national artists, and gems from the Masters. It has hosted world class ballet, opera, and theatrical events along with Highly entertaining Festival Fridays where great live bands energize the crowds.

I was never a huge fan of Picasso and wasn't very knowledgeable about Matisse and Chagall but since they were only in town for a little longer that I was I thought it might be a once in a lifetime chance to see such an exhibit. SOOO glad I went. I learned a lot about these three artists and gained a much deeper appreciation for their work. They also had a watercolor exhibition on the first floor with the works of some VERY talented local artists, many of the pieces were very reasonably priced as well. Highly recommend a visit, especially while the picasso, chagall and matisse exhibit is in town.

The Sangre de Cristo Arts Center and it's adjacent BUELL Children's Museum is a hidden and very under advertised gem. The BUELL Children's Museum was named the number 2 children's museum in the country by Child Magazine, and NO ONE KNOWS! The very reasonable admission ticket includes both the art center and it's exhibits AND the children's museum as well. The grounds are lovely, and every family will love the experience.

We went backwards through the museum, but still got the story. We started with the new exhibit about the Ludlow Massacre in 1913, which incorporates some technology, and is very well done. A quick visit of about an hour. It's small but well-done.

We brought our two-year-old to the museum and the whole family had a good time. The museum is big enough for hours of delight and small enough to have a nice sense of scale and not getting lost in a madhouse like some children's museums. We were there for the Wizard of Oz theme and the theme changes quarterly. It was busy enough that our daughter could play with other kids if she chose, but big enough that she could explore on her own in many sections.Exceptional quality and value for the really low price of admission.

This is a nice convention center and museum with Interesting art and displays. Keeping with the theme of American war heroes, it is a nice feeling. The restaurant looked good too, but was closed when we were there.

When we moved to Pueblo in 2012 one of our first inquiries was to see the community art theater options. After touring the center we became Season ticket holders and have enjoyed the performances we have seen for the past two years. We have friends who have live in this area all of their lives and had never gone to this theater. They are now season members as well. For such a small community this center brings in amazing professional performances. They offer a variety of shows to encompass both family and adult options. We love the Sangre de Cristo Arts & Conference Center and renewed our membership for 2014.

Took my two boys (8 and 5) to the Children's Museum. It was great. Lots of activities and special programs throughout the day. We went on "Stuffy's Birthday" (the museum mascot) so I don't know if his birthday is celebrated everyday, or if it really was a special day, accounting for all of the activities. The museum has a Wizard of Oz theme, so the kids could dress up in costumes. They also had lots of various art activities. It was also quite inexpensive, just $4 for adults and $3 for kids.

Took the grandkids and we all enjoyed the various activities. There was alsoa well-done drama about eating healthy. Funny and educational.

The Art Center is a beautiful building in Pueblo. Activities are available for all age groups. Check the schedule to make a stop at this lovely piece of Pueblo.

I spent the morning in the Buell Children's Museum with my 4 year old grandson. He and I both had a great time. There was lots to do and the staff were wonderful. Oh and the price CANNOT be beat!! The same "sticker" from the morning also provided me admission into the more adult section of the museum that afternoon. Thoroughly enjoyed the Strings & Sculpture exhibit!! I managed to be there for one of the live performances...it was great! The art galleries were wonderful. Mostly regional art...and beautiful, amazing regional art at that. It was a very enjoyable afternoon.

Went here to watch the ballet The Nutcracker. A beautiful performance! The volunteers were very polite in helping me find my seat and made me feel very welcome. They were dressed nicely and looked clean. The building was also clean. Only complaint was the long lines to the bathroom, but that's understandable at any big event like such!
