Welcome to Day 5 of shining a spotlight on each one of our six Finalists for the 2026 Enterprize Challenge✨

Today, we're introducing (drumroll please)... Raffaella Vaz & Crispin Lipscomb of Gallery Artiva!

Located in the heart of Silver Star Village, Gallery Artiva is a vibrant hub for mountain art culture, co-founded by two-time Olympic snowboarder Crispin Lipscomb and renowned artist Raffaella Vaz.

Together, they have created more than just a gallery and gift shop; they have built a dynamic platform where local artists, writers, and craftspeople can connect directly with residents and international visitors alike.

Raffaella and Crispin are pictured with their Mentor Teresa Durning, Vernon City Councillor.
