The Nugget Theatre first opened in 1935 when the Nunn Building was divided to accommodate movie screenings. The Telluride Film Festival master leased the theatre in 1982 in order to have a venue with a "Main Street" address. The theatre has operated continuously ever since.
Luci Reeve, assisted by Jim Bedford, aka B.F. Deal, have sub-leased and managed the theatre since 1984 with Luci running the day-to-day operations and Jim programming the movies.

Elisabeth Gick first came to Telluride in September of 1979, like so many of us, an "accidental tourist.”
“The beauty of the valley sucked me right in and has not let go yet.”
Gick’s children, now adults, went through school here, and she started a very satisfying landscaping business, Outer Spaces, while also becoming deeply involved in a number of non-profits, including Mountainfilm and the Out Loud lecture series.
“I consider myself incredibly lucky to be living here.”
A few years ago, Elisabeth caught the travel bug, visiting interested Nepal in 1999, Vietnam and Cambodia in 2002, India for three months in 2005, India again for three months in 2006-2007.
The First Thursday Art Walk, sponsored by the Telluride Council for the Arts and Humanities, is a day-long block party with a mission: to showcase Telluride's fine art scene, including galleries and studios, which stay open late until 8 p.m.
The event is meant to deepen ties between Telluride's business and cultural economies by exposing locals and visitors to emerging and established arts and the town's retail scene.
The 2009 kickoff is Thursday, January 8, with many venues hosting their own artists' receptions, 5 – 8 p.m.
Among them:
