Prairie Sea Projects

“If emptiness has a view, it’s on the eastern Colorado prairie, out near Joes, population 72,” Sun reporter Tracy Ross wrote in 2023. And nowhere is that aesthetic harnessed quite like it is at Prairie Futures, Ross continued, describing an ecological endeavor that bridges art, community engagement, rural culture and collaboration run by arts organization Prairie Sea Projects. Lately, much of the programming has moved to Fox Ranch, just southwest of Wray, where they continue to host youth film showcases, dark sky events, marketplaces, concerts, storytelling circles, community gardens, book clubs and whatever else the artistically-inclined bring with them to the High Plains.
