Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the community snowshoed out and about on the Yampa Valley landscape to make individual snow drawings, keeping our winter tradition alive while we've kept everyone safe. The community's individual 2021 snow drawings are showcased here as a collective archive of photos and videos captured by snow drawing artists throughout the Yampa Valley during February. The Library sends our gratitude and admiration out to all the artists and their admirers for perpetuating the ephemeral beauty of this art form during complicated times. This is a big win for nature, and community!
