call for art: pride pop-up exhibition
The Art District on Santa Fe is thrilled to announce a Pride Pop-up Exhibition for the month of June! This exhibition is inspired by a long history of LGBTQ+ artists as revolutionaries and trailblazers—those who have changed the trajectories of countless art movements throughout history.
This Pride month, the ADSF invites you to join us as we celebrate both the Art of Queerness, and the Queerness of Art.
For further questions, please email our Director of Programs and Operations at anapaula@denversartdistrict.org

call for art: superior mural festival
The Town of Superior has partnered with Street Wise Arts to produce the Superior Mural Festival in its up-and-coming downtown area, located just off Highway 36 and McCaslin Blvd.
The application is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). We are not requesting mural proposals or sketches at this stage. Selected artists will be invited to develop concepts in collaboration with the Street Wise Arts team after the review process. The Town of Superior and the Cultural Arts committee has selected a theme of nature and regrowth. Artists should consider contemporary, unique, and creative approaches to the theme within their mural design if selected for this festival.

call for entries: (un)altered books
Un)Altered Books: Unheard Voices invites artists to reclaim banned books and overlooked, erased, or silenced histories through visual book-based art forms. Using books as object, structure, or metaphor, artists will transform research, archives, and lived experience into powerful acts of storytelling and restoration that tell the full story of us.
This project blends art-making, research, archives, and community engagement, offering artists guided access to historical resources, bookmaking techniques, and a supportive creative cohort. This project is in partnership with the Women’s Caucus for Art – Colorado, University of Denver Libraries and the Blair Caldwell Library.
All visual media welcome, including altered books, mixed media, sculpture, painting, photography, and interdisciplinary work. The exhibition invites 2D and 3D artists.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 16th, 2026
