Behind it all is Erin Ries, the executive director, who worked alongside local instructors and 16 local youth to create the gazebo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo we started out with a model. We met with the kids, and we discussed what we were going to do, and we actually \u2014 the kids actually created a model, which we still have. I even have a picture of it,\u201d Ries said. \u201cWe all talked about what they would do on the inside, what kind of art they would make. And so it was a fun sort of discussion with instructors and the students, and they came up with all kinds of ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, Ries installed \u201cShroomzilla\u201d in the Nucla community park, a collaborative effort with local youth of all ages. The Norwood gazebo project took several months, with students participating in the construction, creation and decoration of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt teaches them how to paint, how to drill, how to work together, and they have something to be proud of. On both of these projects, there are signs, and all the students participating have their names on the sign that\u2019s permanent,\u201d Ries said. \u201cThat\u2019s something to put on a r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and to be proud of. And these projects \u2014 this installation in Nucla and the one in Norwood \u2014 will last forever, and Rocky Mountain Arts is keeping money aside to maintain these projects that we create for the towns.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gazebo features chairs and benches inside and is adorned with students\u2019 creations. Ries says art in rural communities is so important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe importance is so big. These students really don\u2019t get these kinds of opportunities. It gives them something to do, and it teaches them teamwork and how to use tools and how to do different things they\u2019ve never done before,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ries said students from all across the West End joined in on the Norwood project, including a few from the Telluride area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the students named Ava, who goes to Norwood school, wrote me a text and said that she loved this, what we were doing, and it gave her something fun to do on the weekends,\u201d Ries said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gazebo is installed next to the tennis courts across the street from the Lone Cone Library, and it\u2019s open to the public. Inside, the students\u2019 art includes messages like \u201cBelieve in yourself, and others will believe in you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, I think the one thing I want people to know is that we sort of are creating magic for these rural youth,\u201d Ries said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next project for Rocky Mountain Arts is a mural at Paradox Cycles in Naturita.
