Wildhorse Arts & Cinema builds healthier, more connected communities by making creativity, care, and belonging part of everyday life.

Wildhorse Arts & Cinema was founded to be Steamboat’s Arts & Wellness Living Room—a place where people come not just to watch a film, but to feel connected, inspired, and cared for. In a time of growing isolation and mental health challenges, Wildhorse was created as a welcoming, affordable space where film, live arts, and creative experiences bring people together across generations and backgrounds. Here, creativity is part of everyday life, and community is built through shared experiences that strengthen wellbeing and belonging.

More than a movie theater, Wildhorse is a multidisciplinary arts center supporting films, live performances, youth open mics, school partnerships, special series, and community-driven programming. It is also home to Prescription for the Arts, an innovative program that recognizes creativity as a powerful health intervention. In partnership with local providers, arts experiences—concerts, films, dance, museum visits, and more—are prescribed to support mental health and social connection for youth, with plans to expand to all ages. As the first program of its kind in Colorado, Wildhorse is helping position Steamboat as a statewide leader in arts and health innovation—proving that when communities invest in creativity, everyone is healthier, more connected, and more resilient.
