Curt Halsted: Renaissance man

Posted

 

Something of a fixture in the Gilpin County art scene, as well as a long-term staff member at the Gilpin school, Curt Halsted also brings his skills as a photographer and writer to The Mountain-Ear.

Halsted has been a Gilpin County resident for more than 20 years, living in Lump Gulch, surrounded by the Roosevelt National Forest. “I like participating in the community, and featuring Gilpin County School non-athletic events.” He is involved in local arts, education, and civic clubs. Among other activities, he acts as school liaison to the Gilpin County Arts Association.

He enjoys photographing local events. “I like to write occasionally about community events from different perspectives. I have an iPhone 12, which takes great pictures.” He extends his community involvement to working for The Mountain-Ear. “It is a great publication,” he says, “and truly captures the spirit of the Peak to Peak region.”

Despite already being a local Renaissance man, Halsted notes that “I hope to develop my skills as a photographer and journalist.” The Mountain-Ear is ready and willing to help him with that.
