Colorado has 20 state-certified Creative Districts. Colorado Mountain College and the Carbondale Creative District are curating a series of exhibitions that connect and promote artists from many of these districts. This ArtShare Watercolor show is the second partnership exhibition in 2019. Selected artworks for each show will hang in Morgridge Commons in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and may travel to other CMC locations in Colorado Creative District areas.
All submitted works must be available for sale and be ready to hang. The CMC gallery takes a 30% commission on any sales (15% to CMC, 15% to the Carbondale Creative District, with 70% to the artist). Artists must submit 2 artworks for jury consideration. One or both may be chosen. Watercolor only; no mixed media, please. Artists must be associated with a Colorado Creative District. Works should be no larger than 48 inches in any direction (including frame). Works must be original and created within the last year, should be available for sale, framed and ready to hang with wire or D-ring. Send your 2 submissions (high resolution if possible) to brian@carbondalearts.com.
