Ah Haa HAHA strives to create a contemporary art event that is accessible, exciting and engaging for all participants. Ah Haa HAHA is celebrating its fourth year and was conceptualized by Ah Haa School for the Arts Exhibitions Manager Kris Kwasniewski and Director of Development Christin Marcos. HAHA as an event for everyone that pushes the boundaries of our perception of what is possible.
HAHA artists are given logistical parameters, material stipend and creative carte blanche to design and implement an immersive experience that fully reflects their creative practice. HAHA selected artists have been featured by National Public Radio, The Los Angeles Times, TEDx, TAB, New York Times, SXSW and in locations like The White House, Victoria & Albert Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, Meow Wolf, community art centers, and national and international exhibitions.
Ah Haa’s mission is to create community and joy through art. We are committed to creating opportunities for a diverse group of makers to participate. HAHA is committed to supporting the creative freedom of local, national, and international artists. Ah Haa celebrates equity and inclusion and encourages all marginalized folkx to apply. HAHA artists are also provided outreach opportunities within the town of Telluride. Free participatory events and making activities lead by HAHA artists give the community an outlet for expression and instill a since of place.
The HAHA is the most exciting community event of the summer! This one-of-a-kind immersive artist takeover and multimedia art experience transforms Ah Haa into multiple interactive environments and participatory realms – all while supporting access and opportunity for the arts in our community.
Join in the mind-bending art-filled revelry with 18 regional, national and international artists! Your contribution, participation and support funds Ah Haa’s ability to provide high quality, affordable art experiences for people of all ages, year-round.
