We mic’ed up some of our Veteran Artists to talk about the Open Call process and what it means to showcase their work at historic VFW Post 1.

Join us for our Open Call for Art held every 2nd Saturday of the month, where we jury in new artists and continue building one of the most unique veteran art communities in Colorado.

With an average attendance of over 2,500 people during First Friday events, we work hard to keep every show fresh, engaging, and filled with new voices, perspectives, and creativity. Whether you’re an established artist, emerging creator, Veteran, military family member, or supporter of the arts, we invite you to be part of something bigger.

Art builds community. Art tells stories. Art helps Veterans continue the mission.
