In spite of desperate attempts to save Trinidad’s Artocade parade and Art Cartopia museum over the last week, the nationally renowned attractions are set to close permanently, dealing a staggering blow to the New Mexico border town’s years-long efforts to maintain a signature cultural event.
The pitched tenor of the debate over its closure comes from the shock of losing the city’s biggest arts gathering, which was announced in late June when Wood posted about its cancellation. Some residents, both on- and offline, have laid blame for the closure on budgets, city officials, a lack of engagement, and the brutal, post-COVID environment.
“As the post says, it’s not just money,” wrote Lafayette artist and event producer Mark Moffett. “As someone who produces many events in metro Denver, moving away from COVID finding an adequate number of volunteers for anything is very difficult.” Ruger called it a major loss to the city, but also pointed to upcoming city plans to lessen its shock and move forward. Trinidad does not have a special events manager, but in 2024 will get into the production business with at least three public programs for residents and tourists . City officials are working with Denver’s Greenway Foundation to design a new riverwalk corridor along 3.
Due to the numerous challenges, Wood never made much money from the parade or museum, and its closing is the direct result of a lack of resources and new blood, he said. Wood’s not the only visionary in town. Front Range music-venue and bookstore owners, comedians, entrepreneurs and preservationsto fix up parts of Trinidad over the last decade in the hopes of snagging hipsters, artists and tourists along the I-25 corridor between Santa Fe and Fort Collins.
