Founder Daniel Tucker

Fundada en 1991 por el visionario corredor de apuestas, escritor y maestro Daniel Tucker, la Escuela de Artes Ah Haa es un lugar de inspiración. Al lanzar la escuela, Tucker buscó ofrecer algo significativo y duradero a la comunidad de Telluride. Quería ofrecer a los artistas emergentes y serios herramientas en una variedad de medios, enseñar habilidades y despertar la pasión que llevarían con ellos a lo largo de sus vidas.

Thanks to Daniel Tucker’s vision, the Ah Haa School for the Arts and the American Academy of Bookbinding have become the community center for arts, culture and bookmaking in Telluride and the surrounding Colorado communities for the last 30 years,

The Artist

Daniel Tucker’s paintings are infused with an alchemy of heart and hand. With an exhibit history going back to 1973, Tucker has made deep dives into painting, book production, publishing, poetry and films. This describes the arc of his life—an almost fifty year multi-dimensional journey and excavation of his creative wellspring. 

His most recent exhibition, “The Heart of the Matter”, consisted of 62 paintings. His works are in major private and public collections including London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, The Metropolitan Museum in New York City, The Denver Art Museum, and the library of MOMA in New York City.

He begins each painting as he begins each day—with a sense of wonder and an enthusiasm for exploring possibilities!
