Step into the pages of this year’s Willow Creek Journal and experience the art, poetry, and stories of Creede—live and in person, with the creators.

The Willow Creek Journal was established in 1993 by the Creede Arts Council to showcase the literary and visual artists of our community, and is still going strong today. We are thrilled to celebrate our 30th edition.

The Event: In collaboration with the Creede Musical Arts Collective (CMAC), it is part dramatic presentation, part open mic, and part gallery show. Willow Creek Journal Live brings the published works of this year’s journal to the stage. Local authors, poets, and artists are invited to share their work aloud. Community members will also be on hand to read pieces on behalf of those who prefer not to step up to the mic, or those unable to attend. Visual artists featured in the journal may present their published pieces, offering insight into their creative process and inspiration. A group of live backing musicians will provide mood-setting music to accompany select works.

Flow of the Night: We will be sharing the journal in order starting right at page one!

Food & Drink: Join us under the Creede Hotel tent! Please note that the hotel’s regular food service will be closed for the evening, so we are doing things a bit differently:
*Cash Bar: Drinks will be available for purchase.
*Potluck Style: Bring your own dinner or potluck snacks to enjoy inside the tent!

You’ll be able to pick up your very own copy of the journal at the event—and some of the creators might even be willing to sign their work.

Admission: Free to attend—donations are gratefully accepted and will go toward the publication of next year’s WCJ.

📣Calling All Featured Creators:
If you’re an artist featured in the Journal and are planning to read your piece, speak, or present your visual art, please contact us ASAP at [email protected] and tell us your full name and the name of the piece you will be sharing.

📍Creede, Colorado - 1902

Captured in front of Zang’s Hotel - now the Creede Hotel & Restaurant - this photo features Horace Wheeler, Joe Hazlett, Teresa Hazlett, and Sam Murry around the time the Zang’s Hotel Annex stood as a hub of activity in our booming mining town.

Moments like this remind us that Creede’s story isn’t just buildings and dates - it’s the people who lived, worked, and gathered here more than a century ago.
