Bear and Teresa are committed to creating events that are For Artists By Artists (FABA) – always putting the artists first.

After traveling throughout the country doing 30 art shows a year, Bear McLaughlin and Teresa Turner settled in Pagosa Springs.   Seeing the city needed a world class art show, in 2022, they started ART! Pagosa in collaboration with the Art Council and other art galleries.  After the second successful year, they realized to keep the art show growing FABA needed to expand by exploring new opportunities.
