Join us for a laugh! Wright Conversations at Table 10 is a talk show hosted by Mr. Wright in the Wright Tavern.

Learn what these hard-working people have been up to while navigating the waters of this pandemic among other interesting details.

Ouray International Film Festival
From Friday evening until Sunday night, The Ouray International Film Festival proposes a variety of events from film screenings to panel discussions to parties and award ceremonies. These are films you won’t see anywhere else, and we’ve curated a surprise lineup of movies that will be announced later in the summer.
Art in Isolation
We are all dealing with the current social, political and health situation facing the world today in different ways and art is one of the greatest tools we have to connect us and share our individual experiences. Therefore, thank you, Wright Artists, for creating diverse works of art to share and showcase what coping with quarantine has looked and felt like for you.
A Historic Masterpiece
Built by the Wrights to counter some aspects of the mining culture, the Wright Opera House was intended to be the center of culture and arts for all of Ouray County. Now nearing a complete renovation, the Wright is fulfilling its mission as the premier performing arts venue and historic center in Ouray County.
Original Main Stage Curtain
While we are unclear on who the painter of the Curtain is, we know that it is of a William H. Jackson photograph. When The Friends of the Wright purchased the building in 2011, two main stage curtains were discovered in the basement - The Original and The Second. The Original curtain is in a delicate state of disrepair and cannot withstand the wear and tear of constant display. The Second curtain, however, is hung on the south wall of the Theatre.
