There’s a growing sense of anticipation in downtown Colby, and much of it is centered around a single building that is steadily being transformed from the inside out.

03/27/2026

A visit from Andrew Simpson on March 20 is already generating renewed conversation about the future of downtown Colby, as community leaders and business owners explored what participation in Kansas Main Street could mean for long-term revitalization.

Hi everyone! This is the Creative Arts Council, and we are so excited to be bringing Third Thursdays back to Colby.

We want to say a big thank you to the businesses hosting artists and to everyone in the community who has been coming out to support the events. It has been wonderful seeing people walking around downtown and enjoying the creativity our community has to offer.

We have one more Third Thursday Art Walk coming up on March 19th from 5–8 PM. Current participating locations include the Prairie Museum of Art and History, Healing Hub, Donelan Jewelry, and the Senior Progress Center.

We are still looking for one more artist to fill a location. If you are an artist — or know someone who is — please reach out to us. We would love to have you be part of the event!

We hope to see everyone out enjoying art, community, and creativity on March 19th.
Stay tuned to hear more about your artist featured this month!!

✨ Tonight at Nesting from 5 to 8 p.m.
Third Thursday Art Walk ✨

We’re so excited to host "Held Together," a family-friendly, interactive community art experience happening tonight during Third Thursday Art Walk at Nesting.

This is a come-as-you-are kind of stop. Kids, teens, adults, creatives, neighbors—everyone is invited to take part in a shared art installation project that celebrates connection, belonging, and the people who help hold us together.

✨ What to expect tonight at Nesting:

🎨 A hands-on, interactive art activity for kids, teens, and adults👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A welcoming, family-friendly environment
🍷 Wine and light refreshments for adults
🖼️ Artwork by Carla Sloan-Brown still on exhibit from last month’s Art Walk

We love nights like this—when Nesting becomes more than a shop and turns into a place to gather, create, and feel connected. Health, joy, and community all start right here, in shared spaces and shared moments.

We’re just a short walk from other Third Thursday stops in downtown Colby, so be sure to add Nesting to your Art Walk stroll.

Come create with us. Come connect.
We can’t wait to see you tonight 💛

This is a collaborative project with LiveWell Northwest Kansas, Thomas County Coalition and their partner organization members.
