Inspiration blooms at Perry-Mansfield's New Works Festival
In Steamboat Springs, home of the Perry-Mansfield New Works Festival, artists make art in pastoral, open-air cabins where the sound of their own music harmonizes with a symphony of chirping birds and reedy, wind-blown grass. Where dancers, actors, singers and students intermingle on a mountain where snow still rests in June.
