History
Founded by visionary bookmaker, writer and teacher Daniel Tucker, the Ah Haa School for the Arts is a place of inspiration. In launching the school, Tucker sought to offer something meaningful and long lasting to the community. He wanted to offer budding and serious artists alike tools in a variety of media, teach skills and awaken passion that they would carry with them through their lives. Now, over 20 years later, the Ah Haa School has become the community center for arts and culture in Telluride and the surrounding communities. At the Ah Haa School, we believe that every person harbors an artistic ability and that everyone benefits from discovering and nurturing that creativity. Our Mission The Ah Haa School for the Arts is a dynamic Telluride center dedicated to inspiring all people to discover, nurture, and celebrate creativity.
