Paquette Art Gallery SteamPlant Event Center

 

The Paquette Gallery, located prominently in the lobby of the SteamPlant Theater, hosts monthly exhibitions of work by local and regional artists. It is open for viewing Monday-Friday from 9AM-3PM and during events. 

The Paquette Gallery is named in honor of Dr. Frederick R. “Fritz” Paquette (1939-2004). Dr. Paquette was born in Salida and had deep roots in Chaffee County. A humble man who loved and enjoyed life and all it offered, he watched and marveled at Salida’s evolution into a small mountain town of great diversity. Paquette’s was a life of service, caring and giving.
