An Artful Summer in Silverthorne
It's been an artful summer in Silverthorne with two new outdoor art installations, a stained glass exhibit inside the Silverthorne Performing Arts Center, and several art grant projects underway! Theatre SilCo is in the midst of its summer season, so don't miss the Local's Night show for "The Legend of Georgia McBride." Immerse yourself in the arts with a class at the Art Spot Silverthorne Makerspace or by shopping wares from local artists at the Art Spot's Makers Market, at one of the upcoming Sunday Art Strolls, or at the August First Friday Block Party.

A new stained glass installation is now on display at Silverthorne Performing Arts Center (SPAC) from Meggy Wilm, founder of Colorado Glass Works. While many think of stained glass as functional, like a privacy window or lamp fixture, or perhaps as vintage home décor in our grandparents’ house, Colorado Glass Works offers a vibrant, modern take on this art form.

There’s a new place in Silverthorne for both children and adults alike to enjoy. The PlayGarten is Summit County’s newest multi-age, multi-attraction indoor play destination providing year-round fun for all ages - including an in-house biergarten for adults. Kids have space to run, jump, climb and tumble, while adults can enjoy a variety of beverages and a place to gather with friends and family, no matter the season.

Last year the Art Spot Silverthorne Makerspace opened to the public, providing creative space for the community with a retail area to purchase local art, a makerspace for creating and studio space for artists. The colorful building in the heart of downtown Silverthorne is part of the Town’s commitment to supporting public art, an initiative that saw 20 installations and exhibits featuring 33 artists in 2023 alone.

The Town of Silverthorne is working with a contractor to begin replacing water meters this summer. Installation typically takes less than an hour and residential water service will be interrupted for five to 10 minutes. Commercial customers may also experience water service interruptions during the installation. To update the water meters, the contractor will need access to the water meter at your property. Water meters are located inside, typically in a mechanical room or crawl space.
There is no cost to water customers to update their meter and there will be no change in water service. Learn more about replacing your water meter and how to schedule an appointment here.
During construction, parking will be extremely limited for Trent Park and Willowbrook Trailhead as the current overflow lot is the location for the new park expansion. After construction, new parking spaces will be located along the extended Adams Avenue roadway and at the expanded park site.
For additional parking spaces, community members may park at North Pond Park or Silverthorne Elementary School, cross Hwy 9 at the pedestrian crossing and light, and then follow the sidewalk south to Trent Park.
